A story came out of a small American town last month that started me thinking. It seems that house wreckers were busy tearing down a home. They had removed half the roof and part of a wall, when the owner of the home drove by. He rushed in and confronted the wreckers. They checked with head office and sure enough, they were in the wrong house. They should have been working two blocks away. You know, there is a great lesson here. Are we not all just a little too anxious to "tear down" before we know all the facts? Make doubly sure to check, double check and check again before you take any actions that may destroy the property or reputation of another. How much better to seek out every opportunity to "build" rather than to "teardown". Why not highlight all the good that is to be found in the world instead of rushing in on unsure ground to proceed to “teardown".
