Standing Behind The Door

I once spoke to a police investigator in Sea Point. She called me into an office, and said she wanted to give me some advice. Some of it was this. She pointed to the door, and said: "When a man walks through that door, he is standing behind it." I said I didn't understand. She said: "When a man brings an accusation, he is guilty of the same. He is covering himself." OBSERVATION: This, I think, is very often true, and a piece of wisdom few people understand. People too often see the man walking through the door, but fail to see the man standing behind it. In this case, the investigator was talking specifically about a Church attorney, but it applies everywhere, and to organisations, too.
