The Guilt Game
Have you noticed lately? Accidents don't just happen anymore. Even if they do, we have to condemn someone anyway. Just so somebody pays. I ran into a glass wall in a doctor's office a few years ago. I wasn't hurt, only embarrassed. When I mentioned it to an older lady in the grocery store shortly after, she said. "Well, you're still going to sue them, aren't you?"
Why is it we feel we have to condemn, to always be finding fault? No offense to the legal industry, but I don't much like the world this way. I'd rather live in a world where, when somebody goofs, people understand. When they see something that comes out wrong, like when BP's CEO talked about "the small people" when he meant "small business," people would dig for the true meaning and then let it pass. When, even if the consequences are lengthy like the fallout of the oil spill, neighbors would help each other wait it out patiently and kindly.
Oh, heck! I forgot! We already do. It's called Christianity.
Loving my God, my faith, and my world,
Margaret
