peeling back the callous

i've been around a lot of scammers in my life. a few of them were family members or good friends of the family. Growing up with people like this around you, It gives you a kind of "intuition" about when someone is full of it and when they are being honest.

I sometimes feel like i'm getting a little too cynical about people though. You see so many abuses and you start to get all tough and callous-like...

but i keep trying to remember to peel back the callous... that doesn't mean i'm going to become a sucker. But maybe there are worse things in life than being the sucker. Maybe having a crusty, hard heart is worse.

i'm not sure of my point :) maybe just pray for me to be wise and yet "soft"
cheers.

Does a wise man have a callous? Or, does a wise man let it come at him and use his wisdom to catch what he should and dodge what he shouldn't?
