That boy is nothing but trouble. That girl is a hoe. You're going to hell. We have all heard or said these things to or about one another. We have all passed judgement. Not one of us is innocent, and it isn't really our fault. Society has trained us in one way or another to judge a human being on how they act and look. The problem with this is so many people lose out on some of the most wonderful people in the world. I act ignorant and I dress like, what some consider, like a "thug" when you first meet me. I do this on purpose to weed out the people that truely want to get to know me. If you look at my true friends, you can see that they all come from different lifestyles. Consider this, if you would have met me on the streets before you read anything that I have written, you would never guess that I have the intelligence that I have. Some christians have a tendency to pass judgement on people and do not realize they push people away. Now I know that they mean well in everything that they are trying to say. I, myself, am a christian. The problem is people have their opinion and think that they are right, which they very well may be, but in anything not just saying something is right or wrong is the best answer. You need understanding. Understanding will seperate you from your ignorance in judgement, and yes, it is ignorance thats helps judgement. For example, your mother tells not to hang with that one kid because they are trouble. You knew the kid was always in trouble but you also saw the good in them. Some of them change due to our influence, and yes, some of them are just bad to the bone for lack of a better word. As we become adults, we have seem to have lost that sense of we can change people and write them off. So just think of this the next time you feel the person next to you is below you or a waste of time. Its ok to have your opinion or judgement but try to understand that person before you write them off. That person maybe the one to help get your life together or give you that word of wisdom you so desperately need.
Peace and Love,
