NoJoMo Day 6 in The Long and Winding Road

Day Six: What do you consider to be your biggest character flaws?

Wow. This one requires a little bit of thought. I have a lot of flaws, because I’m human. So, let me count the ways.

I think one of my biggest flaws is that I am judgmental. I try not to be, but I am. I usually keep my judgments to myself, so most people are unaware how judgmental I am. Even in the midst of judging someone, I feel guilty about it. That “There but for the grace of God go I....” kind of thinking. Because I do have compassion and empathy. At the same time, some people are just ignorant jerks. Some people are lazy and think the world owes them a living. Some people play the victim all their lives. Some people make the same stupid choices over and over, then complain because the results are the same. Some people fail to take responsibility for themselves.

See? Even in reciting my biggest character flaw, I include a little judgmental rant!

I’m also guilty of envy (though I’m more frequently happy for other people) and greed (though I’m generous and giving).

I’m a work in progress. Just like everyone else. At least I’m working on it!
