Face Plant

I usually consider myself a fairly accurate judge of character……probably because I have developed a pretty good shit detector over the years.

In the space of 2 days this week 4 women I have felt to carry mucho integrity have face planted. Ethics can be tricky but I have this primitive belief that right prevails over wrong.

I am angry. Perhaps because I like to have heroines in my world or because I feel like I face planted too.

I am angry that I was blindsided.

Since I don’t believe anger is primary it is probably either fear or sadness.

I am afraid that without some truly moral folks holding the lines of ethical decision-making we are doomed.

I am afraid I am loosing my ability to see things for what they are rather than what I want them to be.

I am sad that my righteousness might define me…and it is far, very far, from kairos living.

I am sad that we are all flawed folks and nothing is ‘for sure.’

Time for a course correction.
