Reconcilling

Sometimes I find it hard to recognise all the parts of myself.

Can the person who watches "living with refugees" and thinks "my God, sometimes I am so bloody caught up in superficial crap" really be the same person who buys the liquid soap which smells like milk and honey, even though it costs more, just because it smells nice?

The person who watched those little children cry and die from being hungry, thinks that anyone who would fritter precious cents away on "luxury" soap is just totally missing the point, and must therefore be some sort of horrible person.

The person who writes in her blog about American conglomerates taking over the worlds oldest and wisest cultures is also the same person who would quite possibly consider signing her child up for such a course, should one become available.

Am I the only one who thinks like this?

PS; I am that pathetic! I just ran spell check and "woohoo'd" when no mis-spellings were found! Shouldn't I not care about that stuff if I'm "grown up" and "worldly" enough to post these sorts of rhetorical questions?

Hey chickie! You're not the only one who thinks these irreconcillable things and I actually think MORE people should be. I think there is stacks of hyprocrisy around and yet many people just "live" with it. It's good to challenge ourselves about how we live our values out, and how our values should be shown in action.
