Tearing down

NOTE:

http://www.inclusivelife.org/category/blog will be the home of the Inclusive Life Blog beginning April 1, 2012.

Humans spend more time tearing down bridges instead of building them.  I do believe that this is true too often.  Family, friends, co-workers, neighbors and loved ones.  Relationships require work, they need to be maintained, you just don’t build them and forget them.  They need TLC too!

I recently watched our local city council interact on a topic involving sexual orientation and gender identity.  Two particular council members we most uncomfortable talking about, exploring and learning about these topics.  I engaged with all city council members, one of the two that I speak of replied with a very strong email explaining that because she does not support it does not mean that she has a problem with those people.  She was hearing but she was not listening.  She was tearing bridges down. 

I’ve seen it in relationships, friendships and at work.  We spend so much time worrying about another person continuously pointing out what they do wrong, how bad they are and what they need to do to fix it.  If we would take the time to invest in that person and build them up instead of tearing them down, that would make the world a better place, it would make your community a better place and it would make you a better person!  In addition, think of the change you could make in someone else’s life.

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.” shares the Dalai Lama.  We should commit to helping others, we, one day, will need to ask for help.  If you have tore down all of your bridges how will anyone be able to come to your aid?

We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves.  One day.  One journey.  One person.  One bridge at a time.
