Four Fingers Pointing Back

[kokopelle]

I've found myself being silently critical of people this week. This did not last long, as I realized that my questions about people being "worthy" of existing were actually questions about myself being worthy and redeemable. This quick realization puts others out of the pictures and sets the focus to myself. Darn... if only I could be blissfully ignorant of such things!

I find myself doing the exact same thing all the time. One time in particular I was working in Berkeley and I made a catty mental comment about an older woman wearing a bright shade of lipstick. She smiled at me as she walked past me. Later in the day I met her again. She was the woman who sells the most amazing and affordable crystals from a booth on the street. She was incredibly helpful and I spent a good amount of money. I had made this bizarre random judgment about her because her lipstick was kind of bright, and she turned out to be the most wonderful woman in Berkeley that day.
