Don'T Have the Right To

Don't judge another person The guy you think is a jerk may not be a jerk after all Why are we so quick to judge other people? Either by their looks or their nationalities Their race and what they look like Do we know what they are inside at all? They have the same blood, same human DNA genome from which each of us comes from Why do we say they are not the same And refer as such? Well my friend, say if you are in a battlefield and need someone to rescue you Would you say "let me see - he is not of the color I want - so I think I will wait" Or would you say "come take me"? Funny how we judge someone and can't even judge ourselves I know I can't We make the same mistakes time after time And time after time God forgave us Maybe that person makes the same mistake too And act goofy Whatever it is Just know that you can't judge You may have caught them on a bad day When their hair is not straight And they look disheveled, unkempt Or they may have a run-in with someone And they are angry and act disorderly Who are we to know what goes on in each one's life? Each person - a unique situation Just as a unique you Relenting not rescinding Presenting not resenting Be friending not be blaming Be planting not be canting Overlooking not complaining We need to leave the judging for GOD

- A wonderful poem my friend Toquyen !!! (7 +++ ) - No human has the right to judge others !!!! - No one has the right to blame or condemn another, because no one can truly know another human being - Any form of racism is a sin against God and man - hugs // Anne-Lise :)
