We live in an era of selective accountability, where rules are only inconvenient when they apply to us. Everyone wants justice—until it’s their friend in the wrong. Everyone wants free speech—until someone says something they don’t like. Everyone demands integrity—until they have to take the fall.
The worst part? Most of this isn’t even malicious. It’s just human nature.

Life is too short to live in self-deception, blind to our own contradictions while criticizing everyone else. I’ve seen firsthand how easily people justify their own actions while condemning the same behavior in others. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s a trap that keeps us from growth, accountability, and real integrity. My experiences have forced me to slow down, observe, and recognize how precious time and truth really are. If we want a better world, we have to start by being honest with ourselves first.
