Several months ago I posted an entry here on my blog about judging people and how my awareness was heightened. One of my readers posted a comment stating that s/he felt that judged by me. Several of my other readers responded to defend me but I found the inital comment to be quite insightful. That poster had decided to remain anonymous during this discussion. I stated I would love to know who the poster was if the poster ever felt the desire to discuss the actual situation directly with me...for my own learning and growth and the opportunity to make it better for him/her. I could never figure out who the poster was....
...until yesterday. Yesterday, the poster commented to me and self identified and was able to give me some detail about what was behind the post. I have been thinking about it with great intensity and really trying absorb the new information. I was told that one of the concerns of the poster was that I had greater social power. This was a concept that I had to chew on for a while...and continue to do so.
So, to the poster....and now we both know who you are...thank you for the courage of your original post...and for identifying yourself to me. You can take credit for an important part of my personal growth.
