How many of us have been seriously wounded by a person and struggle to have true friendship with people? Or maybe an institution has been unjust, exploited or abused you? Can each of us think of leaders that have led poorly and people have been left in the rubble? I know I can. These painful experiences can cause us to act differently. They perpetuate skepticism and cynicism. We can become critics instead of supporters. Essentially we have bruises on our proverbial backsides from where whatever we trusted in collapsed under us.
