I don’t hear much in the news about Miley Cyrus’s
opinion relating neither being a boy or girl. Whatever sexuality she claims, it’s
her business. But the big news buzz is about Rachel Dolezal, the current NAACP
chapter president in Spokane, Wash., who was exposed for pretending to be a
black woman. And this is news because a white person pretends to be black! Any
news about any black person pretending to be white? How about a gay person
pretending to be straight? I don’t have time for that. People tend to lean
towards gossiping about other folks business but what about events that are
affecting them now? Is the media even concerned about wars, jobs, health care, government obstruction, income disparity, racial inequality and cyber
theft? Roadways and bridges are unsafe and are deteriorating and racial
relations seem to be going backwards. The homeless population is growing and more veterans are committing suicide every day! Who will help these groups of people? These topics are just a few but they are
much more important than worrying about what people believe about themselves.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
