fool me twice?

i always get this saying backward...once- shame on you...twice- i am a complete moron...

does this ever happen to you? truly, are we all that gullable? i would hope not, but then there is the state of our own existence that gets in the way... i would hope that with time i would learn...but what is time anyway? just a mere factor of life that perpetuates the inevitable...fooled...

i wonder what exactly makes us succeptible to being fooled? hope? desire? belief? possibly nothing more than experience...now this is a bit scary...

i promise, no more scary posts for a while...
