Taking Responsibility and Forgiveness.

I can't help but want to cry in seeing some of the recent posts, attacking others for their wrongdoings. God forbid someone turn over every rock I have hidden under over the course of the last 40 years. I am sure we have all done things we are not proud of. Hopefully, in our path to being better human beings, we have at least tried to rectify our wrongs. I am sure some of us have and some of us haven't. That kind of goes along with the whole " not throwing rocks at glass houses" doesn't it? I know I have said and done horrible things in my past. Most of which I have taken the time to try and rectify. I was thinking about it just yesterday, talking to my friend Gretel and commenting on the fact that even for all the negative and positive I have contributed to those that have come across my path and for myself even, I wouldn't change a thing. Every little lie, truth, hurt done and received make me who I am today. Make me cry when I see wrongs being done to others, gives me the courage to get involved, even when it is advised against, but always doing the right thing. I still have moments, you know the ones, where we think or say something stupid or ignorant.. after all, I am not perfect... strive for it, but it won't happen in this lifetime! I am not really sure what else I need to say here... but for the love of god, can't we just get a long? Whose business is it of anyone else's? That is the beauty of this site, not having to hide who we are, taking ownership for our wrongdoings. Is everyone honest about what image they are putting out? Probably not. Some are some aren't. Last time I checked, it wasn't any of my business..I just need to use my own judgement on what to read and ingest and what to not pay attention to. I am not one to mince words, if you ask me my opinion, I will give it. If you don't want to hear the truth, then don't ask. Plain speaking..not holding back. Talking clearly. That's what it is all about. Love, Karen
