Being Responsible

These last few months since the word has come down that our guys will be deploying there have been more and more incidents. What do I mean by incidents? Well, domestic abuse, soldiers causing themselves pain by cutting themselves, talk of suicide, anger issues and man the list could go on.

Yesterday Dwayne and visited a young lady who had been pushed by her husband. As a result she was injured and he was arrested. It amazes me at how hard it is for people to genuinely take responsibility for their actions. It seems they always point the finger back at someone else or make it about the other person. Rather than just own up to their part in the conflict or the problem.

Does anyone ever really benefit if only one part(one person) of the problem takes responsibility for their actions? No, it is a lose - lose situation. Both lose because there can never be reconciliation until both take responsibility for their part however small or big.

Which will be my thought for later....

Reconciliation is only possible when humility is involved and honesty is present.
