dear life
have you noticed that one of the things we do most is to judge people? we sit by ourselves and think of the things we see those around us do, say ... and we so easily lable them as black, white, good, bad, worthy, unworthy ... and yet we don't want to pay attention to the fact that what we see of others is just part of their personality, the appearance, or what we want to see. even the worst person is dear to someone who loves him, and even the greatest person to many is surely full of vices left unnoticed. think of a king, president ... who may be considered a tyrant to many of his country fellowmen and others around the world, yet for his wife and children he is the solid rock they turn to in need. think of an actress who lives the glorious life of fame and wealth, who even appears naked in front of the camera, or the dancer who dances the dances that many consider shameful or unworthy, who seems to be just a dancer and nobody to many, and based on these acts both are despised by so many, and yet one day you hear them talk, and you find out that one is so pure and kind that bears with herself the sorrow of the war and poverty stricken children of the world, and the other is filled with the love for his country and fellow human beings, and you find out that there are other angels to their personalities- angles that are helping the world become a better place, even a little bit. so who are we to judge other humans whose complex beings is surely one of the greatest mysteries of the world? isn't there any other way to look at people? how does god look at us and judge us?
