The Reformer


 Why do you seek to change others? Are they so vicious and unenlightened that they need someone, like your holiness, to straighten them out? And let us say that is true for the sake of this argument, are you the one to illuminate things for them? Are you the one so perfect and wise, that you possess all the right answers, the effective solutions?

What is your motive? Are you deflecting from focusing on what is really wrong, the fixing of your terribly flawed, blemished self?

Are you so afraid of being alone, that you need to micromanage and interfere with the lives of your neighbors to end the silence, to assuage the guilt and uneasiness, to smother the doubt, to keep God and truth at bay?

Underneath, the platitudes and self-identify with the noble role as social justice warrior, are you not just addicted to gaining power over others, to make yourself more powerful than you were meant to me, by timing them to your conception of how to live and interrelate with others?
