I disrupt others’ plans, activities, lives. I used to think I disrupted unintentionally, but by my teenage years, my inchoate integrity informed me that I enjoyed disrupting, and did it on purpose. I thought I was the broadener of viewpoints. Oh how simple things were then.
Now, disruptions come to roost at my house. As I learned at the steel mill, back in 1976, what goes around, comes around. It took many years to understand the meaning of this profound and pithy statement of resignation and fact.
Just like the Jesus teaching about how hard it is to see the beam in our own eye. Some people think it’s a criticism of humanity, but I think that Jesus was, well in advance of his time, stating the scientific fact that consciousness developed to give its owners’ a heads up about dangers in the outside world. Our eyes, ears, noses, all point outward. Most of us have to rely on others’ outward vision to reflect our own images back to us.
