*These questions are rhetorical and are NOT an invitation for armchair psychological analysis.* (wink)
Why, when everyone else seems to be content and even happy, do I let Mr. Frowny Pants bother me? When everything goes smoothly and just one person goes away irritated, why does it haunt me? When a decision is to be made and everyone either agrees or is neutral, why do I try to accommodate the often impractical preference of the Majority of One? Usually, these people have an overdeveloped sense of self-importance and motives that are far from pure. Why do I do my dead level best to tolerate that and even cater to it? Their place at the table should have been given to someone else a very long time ago. Why do I keep reserving them a seat? When the whole congregation seems to be thoroughly enjoying the worship service and I'd like to think that even the Lord Himself is pleased, why do I leave the sacred desk feeling like a failure because Mr. Frowny Pants allowed his extreme displeasure at some unthinkable grievance rise to the screaming billboard that is his countenance. Try as I might, I cannot put the Majority of One out of my head, and believe me, I try. I shall keep trying. After all, there's a whole flock to shepherd and one goat is NOT going to pollute the atmosphere with whatever evil thought it is that makes him so implacable.
There, now I feel better.
*I repeat, these questions are rhetorical in nature. No answers expected here.* LOL (Names have been changed for some reason I cannot remember at the moment.)
