I in Intern

In DC, I feel empowered. The people I work with are unbelieveably encouraging and helpful. You would think in such a competitive atmosphere people would be cut throat and unwilling to be friendly. On the contrary these worker bees are uplifting and want to help a lowly intern like myself in order to prepare me for life. Why, then, in Christian theatre are we so critical and mean to each other? We, by our very nature, should make others feel safe and yet we don't. We take any opportunity to make ourselves look better and the conclusion I have come to is because we are insecure. We are insecure because no one builds us up and because we are too busy glorifying ourselves or at least getting others to glorify us. It makes me sad.
