Dear Anonymous Monk,

Advocacy is everyone's duty in the Monastery. Some take that charge much more seriously than others, and some don't want that duty at all. I like your attitudes expressed in the post. Yet at the same time, I wonder why the secrecy? Why post as AM? To avoid offending people? I don't think what you posted would offend someone. People may disagree with your philosophy, but disagreement (though sometimes painful) typically leads to growth.

I know that I have messed up big time at the Monastery before. While I was embarrassed at the time, I surely wouldn't post as AM to avoid offending people. It was my mistake and I was greatly humbled by it.

It was your choice to post as AM. I'm glad you did post though. It was the first time I ++ a post by AM. I just hope that you don't use AM as a shield. Present yourself. Be accountable.
