Painting The Other Side

Have you ever thought about our choice of words - and how we can be so blind about ourselves, even willingly so?

• You are principled.  The other side is ideological.
• You honor tradition.  The other side is stuck in the past.
• You follow the rules.  The other side lacks flexibility.
• You are practical.  The other side lacks vision.
• You are spiritual.  The other side is religious.
• You made a mistake.  The other side sinned. 

This is only a short list.  If I was all into numbers and numerology - I'd add one more to make it seven.  I'm sure I could come up with more.  Let us examine ourselves and eliminate the kind of double-talk which really are just attempts to discredit our opponents and those with whom we disagree.  

That's it for today.  I just felt like getting some thoughts out.
