The Hidden Offensive Nature of Defensiveness

Too often I get into defensive modes.  I forget the not-so-nice nature of defensiveness.  When we become defensive we actually go on offense.  So often we become the monsters we believe others to be.  We point accusing fingers at people...

So often we condemn people to crimes they might not even have committed by our mere reaction...  The act of feeling threatened is an accusation...  Sure it's often warranted when we're in physical danger.  But threats of the psychological variety are often pre-judgments on others of a not-so-nice nature.

When I point my finger at others, three fingers point back at me...
