Sorry





















Boomerang, wack.
Ouch.
Life is mighty tricky.
Especially when it comes to other people.

One can never be sensitive enough.
One can never think enough before speaking.
One can never think enough of how someone else will be effected by what they say or do.
Even when they are doing something good.

Does my righteousness cast you in a lesser light?
Do my heartfelt prayers make you sound shabby?

When I grow - does it leave you feeling short?

on the flip side,
when I'm sick, do you feel bad that you're well...
when im poor, do you feel undeserving that you're rich...
If only we all were on the same page at the same time ;)
Gut Yomtov!

I hear you.

My point was more the struggle in maintaining ones own spiritual growth without squashing others in the process.
Some people have a way of doing good things that makes everyone around them feel like their not worth squat.
It's the select few who have the finess with which to do their thing without making anyone else feel inferior.
Yeah.
