I’ve recently been questioning my cynicism and criticism of others and issues of faith. I know that I’ve ruffled many a feather by making arguments against denominational groups, teachings extolling moderation in behaviour (especially Christian living), my stance on the AWARE issue, money and so on. Looking back, I have not endeared myself to others in such arguments as I tend to be very aggressive and belligerent. At the same time, I will not change my stance.

At the same time, I am fully and painfully aware of my many failings in actually practising what I preach. I talk about not being tied to money and status and yet I wrestle with wanting to live a comfortable life. I want to live a life of integrity, to walk the talk.

Enough with talking. Time to walk it.
