i admit, all of the snide pot-shotting (and denials of said pot-shotting) around here are getting pretty old.
high-n-mightiness isn't something i appreciate in people.
Ya. I admit it takes two to tango. If one refuses to follow, the other has no one to lead.
I admit.........I excel at pot shotting far more than I should.
I admit that the advice.........be the change you want to see.......pops up in my head an awful lot around here.
I admit that the behaviours of some, that lead to pot shotting on my part, hits a horrible nerve from my teen years. Especially when I see what I perceive as immature, or attack like, behaviour towards someone that has shown a weak spot in their armour. It's like a blood thirsty pack of rabid coyotes ganging up on an injured animal. I forget myself and get out my verbal 20 gauge and .........behave less than admirably.
I admit that all of the above makes me wonder at the 'good Christian values' of some.
Annnnnnnnnnnd I admit that I am quite aware that all of the above makes me look like I place myself on a pedestal, playing miss high and mighty, and while false.....I don't much care.
I admit I will still keep fighting for what I perceive as the wounded deer, even when they come across as a rabid wolverine to the blood thirsty coyote pack.
And, one other thing that just came to me.
I admit that I've often thought that moderation, really life moderation not necessarily here but here also, has taught us, some obviously moreso than others, the 'art' of the subtle pot shot. Especially women. It is passive aggressive to be sure. But in my observations, it's a learned behaviour due to our more pure voices being criticized. Women/girls are taught from an early age how to 'be' ladies/good manners/whatever applies. And that behaviour, outside those learned boundaries, is unacceptable. So we learn to passively aggressively create our voice, while maintaining the boundaries of acceptability. We also attack anyone that communicates in a manner that is outside our own personal boundaries. We group together (my lovely pack of coyotes) with others that have shared boundaries. We try to invalidate, remove, their voice, because it is not acceptable to us.
