You want to hide that pimple announcing itself on your forehead, loud and proud. Or you hide the rash that sits atop your hand or the balding patch. You likely did not choose any of these, yet we are ashamed or embarrassed and have a sense of imperfection.
Yet, every day people will gladly show us their destructive behaviors. Disrespect. Meanness., Overly critical behavior. Why is this not an embarrassment? If people would only look at this blemish and realize that, unlike the physical ones, we have a distinct choice that we alone can change.
Instead of hiding that blemish, let’s get rid of the bad behavior. Wash it away, cover it or cut it out, but whatever you do, don’t wear a badge of dishonor.
