From the mind of critic: “If we all reap what we sow, how come some of us reap more than others? Is it because we reap what others sow, riding coat tails until we can swoop in and take credit for somebody else’s hard work? Is it because we willingly and unwillingly allow others to do the swooping, not believing in ourselves enough to benefit from the fruits of our labor? Or are we all trying to find success and love amidst a sea of chaos, taking advantage of every opportunity, no matter what cave it decides to crawl out of? We all want success, love, joy, and are willing to put various effort levels into getting it. Some of us are convinced that as long as we end up on top, it doens’t matter how many head we step on along the way. Some of us are so practiced at self-sabotage, that we can’t picture success being our reality, so when somebody else takes the credit and praise that’s due us, and changes the original intent of our hard work, it plays into our inbedded self-image of the person who always falls short. The one issue that could fix this dilemma which all sides could agree on, is accountability and accepting resonsibility. If we think we can never do wrong and have never done wrong, we will forever pass the blame. Not only will the buck never stop with us, the fruits of hard work will also never be with us, unless we steal it from somebody else. If we want to reap what we sow we will, for our bad and good actions. We can’t choose either or, because we’ll never know what each truly means. If we can’t be accountable to ourselves, how can we expect to be accountable to others, let alone 300 million Americans” 🙂
