Finger Point…Just Not At Me
People love to point fingers. They LOVE it.
It makes them feel good. Makes them feel as though they are on the right side of the fence. But when the finger is turned around and staring them squarely in the face, whether intentional or not, they get so defensive.
I watched an incredible example of this unfold today and it made me sick. Now I understand that I do this from time to time…perhaps I am even doing it now with this post, but what I observed today was horrific.
Watching people fight about things that shouldn’t be fought about and getting so worked up that they completely miss the purpose of the message being conveyed.
It is my prayer that I won’t have this type attitude, that I will be teachable and receptive to encouragement, motivation and even criticism, when it inevitably comes.
In fact it is my hope that I will be the first person to point a finger in my direction when it is deserved.
For those who were involved in the situation tonight, I hope there is a sense of conviction about how distastefully things were handled.
