Okay, this isn’t easy, accepting accountability; I understand that, but why? I think that I have figured this out. Whether intentional or unintentional, where do we go to settle a conflict, or a misunderstanding? Our place to go is not tangible; with the place being within one’s self. This special place is called, “Truth and Honesty!”
Accountability leads us to some kind of commitment. Committing ourselves to telling the truth; becoming vulnerable to the outcome. Committing ourselves to telling the truth, as we see it, is huge! It’s a house-cleaning job!
We are not in a court of law here. Understanding one another’s truth, is what we are going for; in search of forgiveness.
Are we truly listening to the other’s side? Two different truths may exist. When all is said and done, we will be tired, but looking around, we will be feeling good; and a whole lot cleaner!
We have accomplished something important! “Why is that?” You may ask. It all goes back to, “The truth shall set you free!” And you may also ask: “Free from what?”
Surely, by now, you can answer that question! (Guilt?)
Taking on the responsibility of being accountability, is a house-cleaning job; in the process, freeing us from our guilt. An uplifting experience, indeed! Honesty with one’s self first, then others. Practicing accountability! Becoming guilt free through the process!
