One thing that I have definitely learned is that the things that I complain about in other people really do have a lot of power to tell me about myself.
"Why am I bothered when they do that?" What is the real issue here?
Most (not all) of the time, the problems I encounter with folks rest squarely in my perceptions and interpretations.
It doesn't mean that I don't have a right to have the way I perceive things respected - I certainly do, but it all has to be in a larger context.
It is usually true that when you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back at you.
Well, unless you are flipping them off. Which also has a lot of merit.
