Balancing

Human Beings have a difficulty maintaining balance sometimes. We get consumed by what we have been fed is right and wrong, our good and bad experiences interject and the allure of the ego stroke we feel when we think we have offered up the "right" advice fills us up and brings with it an inescapable feeling that having done so absolves us from our own sins somehow, all are intergral pillars of the stance we take at times.

But having balance is much more than conceptualizing notions based on biased feeling toward presumed injured parties. Rightly or wrongly we can only be one person at a time so putting oneself in another's shoe, while a tempting easy way out, can never really bring good outcome....indeed we have to be who we are at all times and sometimes people get hurt along our journey to find ourselves.

I accept that I may have a little more work to do than others but I also accept that I can only do it my way.......I am reminded of Maya Angelu's poem "And Still I rise"....words of wisdom for everyone....even those whose two cents have been contributed here without the benefit of full details, without an understanding that the parts represented here could never be the whole.
