I edit myself every day- only with a giant purple marker.I, inherently, edit others....Sometimes I go too far. Its hard to explain because I don't judge, well, maybe in some cases (I go back on myself a lot, don't I) but I do long to see changes in myself as well ...
I've found that those things I want to edit in others, as mentioned in some comments below, are indeed the things I want to edit in myself. More importantly though, I've found that if I'm able to make those changes in myself, I much more readily accept them i...
As reply to mountainmama, YES! Isn't that the truth, that we fault others for things we subconsciously (and consciously) fault ourselves with more. I'm making a mental note right now to try think about THAT every time I fault someone for something. That should get...
Thank-you for the reminder that everyone and everything is my mirror as I walk from one end of today to the other. Often enough the mirrors in life appear distorted but these I can look at as 'funhouse' mirrors and get a laugh anyway.
Do you ever wish you could edit other people, like characters in a novel? Sometimes the freedom to edit is a little too tantalizing... since sometimes, despite one's wish to revise [life, personality, people, experiences], it's impossible to change things.

Yes, but if it had no limitations, it wouldn't be worth it. Ido sometimes think about editing other people, but thn I realize that even by thinking that, something within me needs to be revised, broadened, relaxed, etc. I may currently be transitioning from a well-pay...
I think mountainmama is correct. It is really hard to focus on the beam in our own eye. I am fond of George Carlin's saying that "Everyone going slower than you is a moron, and everyone going faster is a maniac." We judge someone as stupid, when ...
And mountainmama thank you for giving your insight. It's very hard and rare for people to realize their own faults in such a way! It reminded me of that verse in the bible that goes something like "Before you judge others for the speck in their eye, remove the pl...
Your desire, even need to step outside the box/leave your comfort zone/eschew the cubicle is a classic one, as exemplified by the new way society describes the yen every few years. Okay, I made up the cubicle one myself, and it's not likely to catch on. The point...
I have found that the things that I most want to "edit" in other people are the same things I should probably edit in myself, but am unwilling to look at because it is ever so much more difficult. Usually the things that I want to fix in other people, are ...
