We judge others by their actions, BUT WE EXPECT EVERYONE ELSE TO JUDGE US BY OUR INTENTIONS.
I truly do not think that bad intentions were the motivation for either Marek or Bryan. It is most dangerous to assume to know what is in another's heart.
Miscommunication is the culprit, and yes, I believe Bryan should have communicated with us. I understand why he did not, but do not agree with it. Updates would have helped even in the face of onslaught.
I also choose to believe that Marek believed he was acting in the best interest of all the rolclub members.
Was it right that he exposed Bryan? Was it right that Bryan assumed an alias? It all goes back to motives..........
Why did Bryan assume an alias? Was it to fraud or help? and Why did Marek expose Bryan? To bring down Bryan or help his members?
I choose to believe Bryan did it to help members and himself.
I choose to believe Marek did it to help the members. He feels an obligation and wants to honor that. I'm sure it was not an easy choice.
My hope is that Marek and Bryan will forgive one another and once again become friends.
I also hope that each member will forgive also.
Offense is the bait of the enemy. If he can keep us in offense, he can keep us in bondage. The key to freedom is FORGIVENESS!
In the words of Dr. Phil, "Who is going to be the hero here and step up and start the process of forgiveness? Is it more important to be right or to have peace?"
I choose peace even at the expense of looking the fool.
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
