PLAYING FOR THE TEAM

     Groups of people do not form without generating factions: the loud, the quiet, the controllers, the clowns. And sadly, one faction usually becomes intolerant of the others and imposes judgment and negativity and criticism until divisions arise. Peoples' darkness is triggered and defenses abound. And what could be simple and fun and interesting and diverse all too easily becomes contentious and sour.
     Let's not let it. Let's aim for the highest good for the greatest number possible, and be gracious good sports. Let's learn to play for the team.

I am willing to put my judgments aside and be a team player.
