Re-Resolution (or, I Am A Glass House)

recently, on a group blog experiement that i'm posting for (phlebotomic, click here) i wrote that i typically don't participate in new years resolutions because 1) i'm never any good at making them and 2) i'm absolutely horrible at keeping them. i went on to blab about static on the television, rabbit ears, etc.

i thought i had moved on from that topic, but thanks to some events today and rush hour traffic that allowed the thoughts to stew in my head, i realized that perhaps i do have a new years resolution afterall. i don't think that it's just a re-solution for just me, but should probably be practiced by everyone...and here it is:
we should all live in glass houses.

why do we allow ourselves to live our lives differently depending on the situation? why do we feel that we have to act (or not act) certain ways, say (or not say) certain things depending on the audience? why do we bcc people on emails? i figure if we can't be a certain way or say a certain thing to particular people, regardless of the person's involved, then perhaps there's more to the issue than once thought. perhaps there's more we need to identify and address in our lives. why do we keep skeletons in our closets?

so, there it is... there's the challenge for everyone. and remember, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
