Take Responsibility for yourself (yes it's another rant).

Yep, I have only been back for a few days, maybe a week, I'm not sure and already I'm going on a rant. (What's new?)

Perhaps I am naive, or maybe I am trying to live in a world that doesn't exist...but as a Witch I have always believed that personal responsibility was a Must. Where is the honor in performing actions or running your mouth and expecting that you are somehow above ownership of what you have done?

In the last couple of days, maybe three...I have seen several people trying to reach another person's awareness, politely in a way that doesn't cause one person to have to swallow a bunch of crap, but that gave them a nice way out basically...instead of seeing their actions and what was being created by their words, they twisted and writhed their way out of responsibility and put the blame on the other people.

This reminds me of those who would abuse their spouse or children..."it's not my fault your upset...your the one with issues..."

What a load! If you say something then you have to own up to the effect that your words have caused...and before you go off touting how wise you are then you should learn how to keep your mouth shut...that in itself is a good piece of wisdom to learn.

And another thing...before you go on a "fix everybody" warpath, you should make sure your not broken! Some of us don't need your answers or your "enlightenment" especially when your doing it out of some need to show how wise and powerful you are. Give me a break. Yes words have power...so learn how to speak with a bit wisdom.

For the most part I love this site and the people here. I get tired of seeing the same dedicated people to our community get attacked and insulted by the "fly-by-nights" who preach the greater mysteries, but are by their own actions missing a large piece of the puzzle.

Have a great day.

Lawdy, that's a great t-shirt. I wonder how many people one could offend in a day by wearing that in public?

What you say reminds me that we should should the wisdom of those who "speak little and listen much" rather than those who are overly expressive with their opinions and ideals.

Wisdom and Blessings!

Remember that old cubicle sign, "Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part?"

We need a new spin on that --- something to the effect of "Loudness on your part
does not guarantee listening on my part."
