Regarding Those Awkward Moments...
Why am so I obsessed with this urge
to jealously guard my boundaries? What crazy bee in my bonnet has so twisted my
thought process that I can’t even see through my tangled skein of motives and desires
leave alone unravel it!
Have you ever had that awkward
moment when you step forth self-righteously to forcefully declare your “just
and fair” views only to realise, after some pithy back and forth, that the shoe
is on the other foot, so to speak! I swung back and let one fly, straight off
the shoulder, only to have it boomerang and smack me in the face!
So having figured out (belatedly)
that I am in the wrong, how do I feel? One word – awful! Apart from feeling
like a worm, it’s humiliating to realise that I am a self-righteous prig!
There’s a streak of sanctimoniousness that’s so deeply ingrained, I’ve mistaken
it for righteousness!
UGH! Again...awful!
Stumbled across this line of verse yesterday
and thought it was ironically apt –
“Happy are
they that hear their detractions and can put them to mending.” *
* From Much Ado About Nothing by William Shakespeare
