Recently, we have all been a small part of a larger situation... or perhaps conversation would be stating it better... regardless both have happened of late... words have been said... thoughts have been shared... bitterness has divided... anger has spread... hearts have been broken... relationships destroyed... lives have been lost... and a greater sadness has resulted over a shift that changed our nation again... and yet... for those who have stood up in an attempt to be heard... have used words to oppress... actions to abuse... violence to stand... is it any wonder then that while your behavior is as you believe acceptable... why must I accept it without my words being expressed and heard as well... you have no thought or care about your bully behavior... while your eyes and ears are closed to my points of view as well... if we were to ask for our thoughts and be willing to hear... possibly a greater conversation would begin for a greater good...
It is hard waiting for the other shoe to drop... this can apply to so many areas of life... financial security... job security... health... children... family... all of these things are difficult enough in their own way... what is most difficult is waiting for another to twist the knife... we as human are such flawed creatures to begin with... with the three fingers that point back as we call out the failure of others... it is enough just to keep the eyes in the back of the head open wide to protect us from the inevitable... often we know that which is about to happen... yet there are times when we never see it coming... it is not always about doing what is right... it is more often about doing what is necessary that gets us into trouble... and there in lies the rub... we do what we feel to be right to make the wheel turn and others just can't bare the thought of not having control... whether gained or earned... and as the aftermath of what is left behind... the question remains......
