Law Maker, Law Breaker and Re-Resolution

On January 1st, I made my resolution and one of them was ‘free alcohol till April 30, 2009.’
Last Sunday, I went to an Asian market (H mart) for grocery shopping. Near to the entrance of the store, a beautiful girl was standing with a little table and there were few wine bottles on the table.

After I shopped, I stopped in front of the table and asked her what were they? She said those were Korean wine. I have never been tasted Korean wine before, so I asked her if I could taste. She said of cause, and I did. It was sweet and delicious. I asked her how to speak ‘thank you’ in Korean? She said she did not know because she was not a Korean. Then, I just smiled and said ‘thank you, happy new year.’ I totally forgot my resolution.

That Sunday evening, I did not remember about it, either. In the Monday morning, I woke up at about 5 a.m., because of my dream. I dreamed about that wine tasting. Then, I realized that – though I did not have any conscious mind and any ambition while I was drinking that little tiny cup of wine, I did something wrong.

I fully govern my body and my mind. I am law maker for myself. Therefore, I should not be law breaker for myself, too. I fondly accept that I deserve something for that little tiny cup of wine tasting.

I was thinking first to avoid drinking for the whole year of 2009. Then, I re-thought it was not fair because I did not mean anything about it. I was not doing it intently. I just remembered in the next morning about the connection between that tasting and resolution. So, I thought to stop my drinking till August. I was still feeling it was unreasonable. Finally, I decided to extend my ‘free alcohol period’ only two more months, till the end of June, for my unconsciously tasting of a tiny cup of wine.

So, I won’t drink / taste any kind of alcohol till June 30th of this year.
At least, I totally learned something from this event.
Law Makers should not be Law Breakers.
