For finding solutions, or resolving problems, between people, where does one look? Wouldn’t one’s own accountability come into play? More often than not, I would say, one tends to want to look elsewhere, rather than to accept responsibility for the existing problem.
Someone has been offended; now what? Would the offended person say, “Excuse me!” Or, does he or she, let the situation pass?
By letting the situation go, does what? (Or the moment?) I can tell you! The wounded person becomes a victim, with a wound that will not heal, by itself.
What happens when one looks beyond oneself to place blame for a misunderstanding? I would say that it could be human nature, (a flaw of sorts) to look elsewhere, to place blame. Why is that? I have a few ideas.
Do we tend to not want to explain ourselves? I would say so. My guess is, we would not want to go there. Why is that?
Being accountable takes a kind of courage, but most likely is hardly realized at the time. Yes, being accountable does take courage, but isn’t courage where we find (discover) our strength?
This or that concept, needs to be explored. Exploration will take us on a journey. A journey of this kind, will take us to being responsible for our words spoken, and, or actions taken; which will deliver us to a guilt free feeling, and in turn, become our reward.
Are you with me?
