I once watched an exchange between Oprah and Maya Angelou. They were talking about the trials of being pecked away at. Meaning, I took it, dealing with people criticizing you, wanting to belittle you or tear you down etc. I found myself nodding in agreement. Yes, I thought, it's terrible to be pecked away at. And then I thought to myself, if this interview was done in front of a studio audience I bet they'd all be nodding their heads too. And then I thought, if it was done in front of a stadium full of people, I bet they'd all be nodding their heads too! In any city anywhere in the world, I thought, people would be nodding their heads in agreement, agreeing that they were tired of being pecked away at. But then I thought, if everyone everywhere in the world is nodding their head, then who the heck is doing all the pecking? A highly-skilled ultra-secret covert group obviously. And then I thought, why haven't we innocent victims gathered up our pitchforks and lanterns and gone after these peckers? Puzzling. Perhaps you could shed some light on this Hypocrisy? It would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
PC
