Who said this one?
"When I look at you, I see myself. If my eyes are unable to see you as my sister, it is because my own vision is blurred...certianly!
I think this little statement says a lot! A great deal of what has been posted is food for thought. When we speak to SISTERHOOD, and all those things we hold dear within the Sorority (Sorors please read between the lines)all those things we hold dear within the Sorority, we ALL need to take a good looooooong look deep within ourselves. We speak to prospectives anout humility, yet we ourselves have trouble being humble and compassionate one to another. The past year of my life has taught me to be humble. A few things happened in my life to knock me off my HAUGHTY & HIGH horse.
Public Service begins at HOME. If I may be so bold as to pose a few thought provoking questions:
We have Sorors that are going through rough times:
*financial problems
*drug abuse
*domestic abuse
*alternate lifestyles (not that that's a problem)
*homelessness
*depression
I could go on and on. Do we step on theses Sorors, gossip about their issues, or really reach out to them? When was the last time you asked someone"How are you doing" and really gave a kitty, or really took the time to listen to their response.
