Honest
I have been given cause for much reflection today. I was called into my director's office. She had some concerns.
There is this committee that is supposed to be organized each year. The people who participate are supposed to be agents of good standing. As long as they meet the requirements they are supposed to be eligible. I was asked to be the co-facilitator or back up in the event that the facilitator is not available. When it came time to select the members of this committee, it was not happening as fast as some would like it to happen, so I was asked to get the ball rolling. When I did, it was done in haste, I made some justifications that it was not my duty, I was just getting the ball rolling and when judgements were made in addition to the established guidelines, I did not stop them from being made.
After it was over with, I did not feel right. Well, our director has been notified of the process and called us into the office. She asked why the judgements were made. Those who made them expressed their justifications. She asked what we should do about it. She kept asking this over and over again.
Because I did not stop it, I had to accept responsibility of being part of it. It does not feel good. However, I am guilty by association. We made a mistake. I admit that. However, the question is now, do we go and tell those people that they were judged and try to make amends or do we just move forward and promise not to do it again.
The comment was made that just moving forward is just as dishonest as doing it in the first place. My integrity and honesty are now on the line. I am at a point of reflection. Am I being honest with my fellow man? What should I do to repent? There is some sense of confidentiality and on both sides. I don't know. I am up for suggestions. I will let you know what happens.
