A giraffe stands tall in
his environment, not that he has much of a choice. We on the other hand can
stand tall or come up small. Standing tall means being ethical, honest, fair,
and a lot of other positive attributes that sadly are missing from so many
people and society these days. To use a favored cliché these days, it’s doing
the right thing. Sometimes it isn’t easy to do, but it is the thing we should
do. If we don’t expect ourselves to be held to a high standard, how can we
expect others to be? Yet, we look down from our ivy towers that are often
covered with the vines of deceit, deprecating those who come up short in our
view. It would behoove us to clean up our own houses before we start critiquing
others.
