The saying “When you point a finger, you’ll have three pointing back at you” is a powerful reminder that blame and criticism often reflect back on the person doing the pointing. It suggests that before we are quick to judge or accuse others, we should first examine our own actions, motivations, and perspectives.
Here’s a breakdown of the meaning:
* Accountability: The three fingers pointing back represent the aspects of ourselves that we need to take responsibility for. This could include our own mistakes, shortcomings, or contributions to a situation.
* Self-reflection: The saying encourages us to look inward and honestly assess our own role in any conflict or issue. It prompts us to ask ourselves: “What could I have done differently? How am I contributing to this situation?”
* Empathy: By recognizing that we are not perfect and that we all make mistakes, we can develop greater empathy for others. This can lead to more understanding and forgiveness.
* Humility: The saying reminds us that we are all fallible and that no one is above making mistakes. It encourages humility and discourages self-righteousness.
Where to apply it:
This saying can be applied in any situation where blame or criticism is involved, such as:
* Personal relationships: When conflicts arise with family or friends, it’s important to consider our own role in the situation and avoid simply blaming the other person.
* Workplace: In a team setting, if a project fails, it’s more productive to focus on what everyone can learn from the experience rather than assigning blame.
* Social issues: When discussing complex social problems, it’s important to avoid making sweeping generalizations or blaming entire groups of people. Instead, we should strive to understand the root causes of the issues and work towards solutions.
Is it a good thing?
Yes, I believe this saying is a valuable principle to live by. It promotes self-awareness, accountability, and empathy. By reminding us to look inward before pointing fingers, it can help us build stronger relationships, resolve conflicts more effectively, and create a more compassionate world.
However, it’s important to note that this saying doesn’t mean we should never hold others accountable for their actions. It simply suggests that we should always start by examining ourselves first.
Good luck you adjudicators.

The Nicola Naturalist Society is having their February meeting with Charline Joe and Sean Strang at the NVIT lecture theater.
The pair are both working for River Health. The former is The indigenous engagement manager for the lower Nicola Indian band and the latter is The director for indigenous flood recovery and mitigation for the city of Merritt.
They will be presenting the concept of rivers restoration to indigenous values.
Other speakers have touched on these conditions in recent times including a presentation on beavers + their dam workings and pond building and the natural benefit of these conditions to the ecosystem as a whole.
There is a drawing for ticketed items at the break. The revenues from this goes to a student bursary. The Society often says “everyone welcome membership or donation appreciated”.

What is the meaning.?
So, this is a solemn week ending on Friday with the remembrance Day observances.
The armistice was signed before laying down of arms at the 11th day of the 11th month after 11:00 hour.
So, it is on us to remember the sacrifice of people who secured our freedom over time with the military forces. However it shouldn’t be a lecture, it should be just a getting together and agreeing on the sense that sometimes over time things haven’t worked out and force was required. And that we can benefit from observing the slippery slope that brought that into being in the past.
Then taking a sober view of the remembrance knowing that it can incite all kinds of old wounds if the agreement isn’t widespread that it should never happen again.
So good luck with that, as I leave you with a quote from the character Sandra Bullock played in the movie Gravity. When she was in terrible Jeopardy trying to get away from a falling apart space station,she said I know that we all die and with tears she went on to say but I’m going to die right now.
How to live on properly.
To expound on her feeling yes everybody does die, but how they die is important,not leaving baggage, chaos or conflict, but a peace presence of thoughts of you is a noble charge.
