"Is There in Truth No Beauty"

[michaelboy]

Hypocrisy is one of those "do as I say, not as I do" things that I've found myself insidiously entwined around more than a few times in my life. It's even been easier to call out others over it -- but it feels so unproductive and ugly to do so.
As I get older, I want to affirm and remember there is more beauty and production in acknowledging the positive attributes in others, wherever they are.
Maybe I've lost my youthful idealism, maybe I yearn more for a sense of peace. I just don't know.

Something I struggle with myself. I've found recently though that my verbosity usually helps me in finding ways to do it kindly, now I just have to work harder at the grace needed to accept those same gentle verbose reminders myself when they come my way.
