This week our sixth look (O6thL) as we ponder 'our needs' is on the aspect of ACTIONS and while it is easier to look at the good actions that help, we need to also look at those actions that may hurt. So then . . . What ACTIONS hurt? First, we all can hopefully agree that actions like being mean or violent, or doing unlawful things are wrong and hurtful actions. Second, do we make the time to reflect and then to act upon or to correct 'bad actions'? |
Third, when we make the time to look at our actions, we see this is not as easy as it seems. We can try to be helpful and we don't help or even make things worse - or we don't take action . . . and that doesn't help. Each of us have to decide what or what not to do and when. As for me, it boils down to my embrace of actions that help others (that they feel is helpful). Because, if our actions aren't helpful, they're hurtful. |
