A Window to the Soul

I’m not sure what’s right; how the best way to handle things is. Is honesty always the best policy or is it best to keep one’s thoughts and opinions – feelings – to one’s self. I know that in retrospect, I wish I had keep a few feelings to myself and not been so open and honest in a recent situation. The expressing of my feelings, along with some other group actions and events, played a role in starting a negative chain reaction within a group.
Personal relationships are challenging and fragile; group dynamics…even more difficult.
A friend made mention of this thought last week, “We are each somewhat like a window, with the ability to see out, but at the same time allowing others to see in.”
Am I guilty of quickly forming opinions while looking out my side of the ‘window,’ but slow to accept what people see when they look in? Could I…should I have done more to nurture the now-damaged relationship?
As I write today’s post, I am reflecting on what people see when they look ‘in my window.’ Perhaps doing a little soul searching….
Friendship,
Relationships,
Soul Searching
