Too many of us are too quick to judge others without giving the benefit of the doubt Some of us judge people on face value and some are guilty of making judgements based on the color of a person's skin The most important part of a person can't be seen It is locked away and guarded like a precious jewel Many hearts have been broken only to mend again Many will not open their hearts and let love in But we all have the capacity to love and be loved Sadly there are those of us who are filled with so much hate and rage They need to cleanse their soul and rid themselves of such poison before it destroys their being We are all cut from the same fabric even though many of our origins are indicated by the color of our skin So make sure you try and imagine what it's like to walk around for a day in someone elses skin before you cast judgement too soon You may be pleasantly surprised with what you find within their heart and also within your own Suetang |

Beautifully written and completly true, most are quick to judge. This a old saying but true... You can't judge a book by its cover, or a human being. Throw your heart out in front of you |

A great message Sue. We are all at a loss when we judge. Especially when you had the opportunity to connect with a heart and judgement or indifference gets in the way. You can't back up. Thank you for writing on such an important issue. Sincerely, Regina |

I agree 1000%, Sue. I have the suspicion, however, that it may be a DNA flaw within humanity -- one that takes supreme desire, effort, and understanding to change, for it seems like such a natural reaction to judge every one for even the dumbest things, and it's amazing how many times you can catch yourself doing so, once you become conscious of the action... It takes a lot of Wisdom and patience to accept all people for who they are, but it's a good idea to start as soon as possible. Bravo on a poignant message. -MVS "When you tell the Truth, you never have to remember what you just said." |
