I mean really now. There are so many people out there running around who obviously do not look in the mirror when they leave the house. And what about those idiot drivers who take an extra thirty to sixty interminable seconds to begin to move after the light turns green? I mean really.
Don't get me wrong, I somehow manage to cope in these cases and more. Oh my word, I am just thinking about what I have said so far and, my God, I am so horrible. Okay, maybe it is natural and normal to have these thoughts. But then I have to think about that thing that you should do to remind yourself just who you really are being critical of. You know, that thing that makes you have that "aha" moment and your realize that those things you cannot stand in others, is really what you cannot stand in yourself.
Okay, look at the hand above and you will immediately see. You may notice that there is one finger pointing out but notice where the other fingers are pointing. Three of them are pointing, you got it, right back at the pointer. Now of course there is that pesky thumb. I think of it as the alterego in cahoots with the forefinger to support it in its delusional projection of self criticism on others.
Oh my goodness.
Okay, maybe I am being a bit over-analytical. But it does make sense. I do try to look in the mirror before I leave the house. That doesn't mean I always appear up to even my own standards. And I do try to get going when the light turns green, but caution before entering intersections these days is not a bad thing...no, not a bad thing at all, I guess.
Okay, so I have my moments. But overall I strive to be kind and I almost always accept people where ever they are at on their journey. But that dang little monkey mind still throws out the barbs for my consideration. The entertainment value is there. And I am very aware of anything my fingers point at.
