Often some people have little more to do than watch other people and decide if they are "like us" or not. It is most unkind to make assumptions of other people that you don't really know anything about. Some people look down on others because of the place that person comes from or the color of their skin. When you do that what you are actually doing is telling God He made a mistake.It's God Himself who gives you the color of your eyes, your hair, your skin, the very blood in your veins your parents and the place of your birth. This is a very personal gift to you from God Almighty Himself. What you do with that gift is your gift back to Him.

We oft expect of others,
In most given situations,
What we ourselves would do,
For it's our inclination,

To think that we are all the same,
So we think they would do,
The same as we if we should find,
Ourselves in those same shoes.

So when we suspect another,
Of some skullduggery,
Or we look down on someone,
And think debauchery,

Because they made in innocence,
A picturesque remark,
That we perchance misunderstood,
And we decided to embark,

On a mental journey,
To the land of fantasy,
Imagining the things they did,
And we begin romancing,

Evil thoughts within our minds,
That have no ground at all,
Except within our fertile mind,
Where Satan has a ball.
