Abashed...
I feel foolish. And a quote from a movie comes to mind where the villain is about to be blown up duct taped to his car, "And abashed the devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is."
I don't mean to say that I'm the devil or that my perspective is not good. I've only been reawakened to the validity of other perspectives. And so I see this snapshot of the movie in my head.
I should let others have their perspectives and not try to impose mine on them.
When did I become so self-righteous? Because I accept myself does not mean everyone else has to.
Hmm.
Because I am more accepting and open-minded does not mean that my views are any more correct.
When or why did I let this dichotomy develop?
Running full tilt towards freedom, I thought I was seeing where I was going, but instead I've had my head down ramming into and through any obstacles to get to my "freedom".
Hmmm.
