Think before you judge You don't know their story Their clothes could be rags Their faces may be sour But they are as human as you They face trials like you Perhaps they're in a dark place But they are trying to get out Because nobody wants that To think themselves evil or crazy You have your own story Little may know about it You wouldn't want to be judged Judged of harsh words So think before you judge Until you know their story I've obviously been in the mood to write poetry as you've seen in the last two blog posts. I drew this picture today in inspiration of this poem that I wrote in sacrament meeting.
The reason for writing this poem is tender, and it isn't necessarily what I had to learn, but what I wished others had to learn. Someone made a false judgement to someone close to me and it's causing an unfair trial towards him. Those who know the story seek to help him and work with him, but those who don't know the full story have judged him in a very harsh way. We all can say, especially in our uneasy life (particularly in High School), that we face those insecurities of thinking of people judging us. I have grown to ignore the thoughts of being judged because I found myself more comfortable with myself. Judging is not a bad thing, but it's unrighteous judging that causes issues. While we drive, while we pass people at work or on the streets, at the store, anywhere, we run into people who have their own story. We shouldn't judge so harshly if we don't know their story. The next time you have road rage from someone cutting you off, consider what their story might be. Perhaps they heard that their child was having a seizure and they needed to get there as soon as they could. Maybe they had a job interview that would earn him enough money for his house that he is losing and was running late. We don't know that persons story and they don't know ours. It's really a matter of perspective to think that of other people. So I would challenge you this week to consider trying to think of a good reason rather than being angry or frustrated at a stranger or even a friend. Between driving, work and other public places, there can be a lot of frustration and chaos. So with a change of perspective, simple righteous judgments can lead to not only a better day for you, but a better understanding of other peoples situations.
