Sigh.
I am thankful for a lot.
Specifically where ever I learned not to judge so harshly.
I mean, it just hurts me to see anyone judged like that. Okay, so you don't like Lady Gaga's song. Great. Whoop-De-Doo. What? Now you're picking her apart bit by bit what she says and does? She's human too you know.
Even just like our friends. So she was concerned and spoke up and that ended up meaning he couldn't leave with us like we had hoped. Don't curse her for it. She was only trying to think about his well being. And even if she's blunt sometimes, who isn't?
We all make mistakes.
A specific way of saying things doesn't mean you can condemn someone.
And just because someone is religious doesn't mean you write them off. They're not just "Jesus people" that you can ignore because you make assumptions.
You want to be heard. You want to be forgiven for your actions. You aren't perfect.
So why judge others that way?
Luke 6:31
"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you"
I guess I'll thank my mommy for the golden rule. She taught me "Treat others how you would want to be treated" - it's the same idea though.
I'll stop and apologize to someone who I can't give money to on the street, because if I was in the same situation at least some acknowledgement would be nice.
I just get upset on my friend's behalf when they are so harshly judged, especially when others aren't even vaguely held the same way.
I'm also really into this 19th century literature thing.
Anne Bronte has EVERYONE quoting the bible.
Perhaps Mrs. Helen Graham (spoiler: aka Mrs Huntingdon) is rubbing off on me. Hopefully just positively, and not in the "I'll stay with a man who abuses me and cheats on me way" (that's a joke)
Just try and think of these things while you interact with others. Maybe sometimes?
