What I Really Wanted to Write About

I had a topic on my mind for a couple of weeks now. Its just stuck in the back of brain and doesn't want to go anywhere.

But its an incomplete thought at best. And controversial enough to make some people angry. Now I don't shy away from controversy, not normally anyway. So why now am I choosing to abstain from just putting it out there and sorting through the fallout later?

Because I'm trying to figure out if I'm guilty of acting in the same vein as I would be accusing other of.

By talking about it publicly that would make me... wait for it... a Hypocrite.

I find too often in this facebook, twitter, blogging world (in our conversations, too) that people spout off accusations when we are guilty of the same behavior or attitude. I've done it but after recognizing it only in hindsight. I want to get to the point where I don't see the error in hindsight- I want  to not err in the first place.

I'm sure there are many psychologist and counselors that can explain why we act like this. And it would be a good subject to study. But I just want to do my part and bring some awareness to the issue as well as to sort through some of for myself.

Thanks for letting me share.
