NEVER ATTEMPT TO JUDGE A MAN UNLESS YOU HAVE WALKED ONE MILE IN HIS SHOES.

Some people have great empathy for their fellow man, but most can't feel for anyone unless they have been through the same thing. For this reason it's best to keep your feelings to yourself unless you can be sure your confidante is sympathetic to your problems. I have found it's best to take my troubles to The Lord. He always listens and He always helps, maybe not right away but in time my prayers are always answered. Until then He gives me the strength I need to see me through. Most people seem to have blinders on when it comes to others. If they have not been through what you are now experiencing they have no idea what you're going through. Hence, they tend to be less than caring. I know it's a downer but it's a fact of life.  so the next time someone comes to you for a shoulder to lean on, Remember:                                 "YOUR OWN SOUL IS NOURISHED WHEN YOU ARE KIND; IT IS DESTROYED WHEN YOU ARE CRUEL."   Proverbs 11:17
