Dance Like No One Is Watching - Rev Paul Gonyea

As far as I’m concerned, we take ourselves way too seriously. We get attached to looking a certain way, and being a certain way, and being thought of in a certain way. And we are very, very careful to protect our precious self-image. Part of that self-image includes our beliefs about how life is supposed to be lived, in every tiny detail, and that often includes how we think other people are supposed to live their lives, too. When other people are not doing the things we think they’re supposed to be doing, or when they’re not doing them in the way we think they should be done, we express our disapproval, sometimes openly but usually in more subtle ways. And subtle disapproval is the worst.
