A crisis of morality
I hate having a crisis of morality.
My four cornerstones are to be honest, to be trustworthy, to be fair (whatever that means) and to be respectful. I really, really hate to be called out when I don’t live up to my own standards - although I don’t mind so much when I see an act so egregious by someone else that I question my own stance and entirely change my attitude in life. It happens, it makes me grow as a person.
If I haven’t lived up to my personal cornerstones in the past, it is up to me to change it in the present and make amends. I am my own harshest critic. I’d rather catch a problem in my moral framework by myself before someone else points out how big of an ass I’ve been.
Apparently, it turns out I have a number of friends that are gay. To be honest, the topic has never really came up between us. But I do not have any ‘gay friends’.
I have good friends. I have true friends. I have close friends. I have distant friends. I have lifelong friends. I have kind friends. I have supportive friends. I have awesome friends. I have trustworthy friends. I have talented friends. I have poetic friends. I have strong friends. I have treasured friends. I have brilliant friends. I have clever friends. I have confident friends. I have funny friends. I have honest friends. I have old friends. I have new friends. I have fun friends. I have cool friends. I have amazing friends. I have inspiring friends.
The adjectives applicable to my friends tell you about their character, not about their appearance or superficial descriptions. I hope you find that expressive about my character and would make you wish to be counted as one of my friends.
