Fight or Flight?

I sat wondering, as the light came through the window, what kind of world we live in. Why is that we can't go our day with out finding false fault in one another, and why is it we blind or defense with ignorance? I like to think I take my time and formulate well thought responses when there is obvious misunderstanding. But these typically come across pompous and accusatory even though the meaning and true feeling was far from. Other times I hastily string together a slew of solemn slurs that strive to project the fairness of it all. And it's these times I am more than certain my words are misinterpreted. But that's the power of digital communication, we can never really know one another's true motives and meanings.

Sometimes we defend justly and other times we seek solace for somewhat frowned upon actions. But what is the saying? Let the one without sin cast the first stone. Why should we be required to take a stand in defense against those who wrongfully accuse others of deeds they have in fact committed. The details aren't the same in each case, but the actual "crime" stands as the same done. I believe then, that the accuser's argument is destroyed because how can they fight against something they themselves do and support? Perhaps we aren't always able to see the hypocrisy in ourselves, or perhaps we rather find insult in others to indirectly glorify ourselves. This glorification wouldn't be intentional because just as one is unaware of their own hypocrisy they are unaware of the statute they place themselves above.

And even then is it worth the defenders time, when it will all be misunderstood in the end? Is a battle in vain, destined to fail, even worth the battle at all?
