Manage episode 424463582 series 3517536
When the judge bangs that gavel to announce guilt or innocence, it’s usually not much that can be done. Whether being judged by a jury of 12 or by a judge himself, guilt is determined by others.

Erykah Badu once warned in her hit song Bag Lady “you gon’ hurt your back dragging’ all them bags like that”. And this advice is applicable to all. Some of the baggage we carry thru life isn’t ours to own. But after so many years, the lines are blurred and at some point must be redrawn.
