December 1, 2018, Prescott-
You say that my dear friend,
someone I love very much,
is not measuring up,
not cutting the mustard.
I know differently.
I know just how hard,
how diligently,
how effectively,
my friend has pleaded your case.
I know the high regard in which
you have been held,
in my friend’s estimation.
Frankly,
I have always had my doubts.
No human being,
myself included,
even remotely
approaches the level,
of Jesus the Christ,
of Gautama Siddhartha ,
of Baha’u’llah.
You have made
some very high claims.
You have not exactly SAID
you are above it all,
but by your behaviour of late,
you act as if that is the case.
I love my friend,
and will stand by her,
throughout.
You, though,
will have to
be content,
hardening your feet of clay.
Sounds like a sticky situation.

True, it is not possible to reach the expectation of others. One needs to be able to accept the limitations of their own.

Yes, focusing on oneself, first, is always wise.

Sometimes we get hurt the most when our expectations are too high; a good friend of mine pointed that out to me

Hurt people hurt people…I try to keep looking for the persons heart. At the same time aware that other’s expectations are not my responsibility. Still a daily challenge 😉
