What is our measuring stick when we critize and pass judgment?

The laws are based on:

Good vs. evil
Right vs wrong
Black vs whiteΒ Β ( colours, not talking about skin colour)
Successful vs unsuccessful
"Normal" vs different
Rich vs poor

The idea of "perfectionism" that is rampant in our culture. Everyone must act, be and do what their told or else their cast out as an outcast, reject or unsuccessful. Doesn't give people room to be authentic and real. There's no room for patience, acceptance, compassion or even a desire to help, when someone does make a mistakes.

[Let's look at reality. When we go through life on lifes terms. Nothing is as straight forward as our laws and judgments. Just simply look at the birds outside. Do you think a mother bird kicks a new hatchling out of the nest, because it doesn't know how to fly? Or, does she have patience and understanding to teach her hatchling how to fly?]

I've yet to meet anyone who is perfect and doesn't make any mistakes. I know a lot of people have their masks on and like everyone to think they're perfect and flawless.

In my life I've fallen down more times than I can count. My failures and shortcomings have shown me that I need to be more patient and understanding with myself and others. That's how I've grown to be the strong person I AM. Thank God, I've never broken any legal laws. Who knows if I followed the wrong people or made the wrong decision, at the wrong moment, out of survival. Maybe I would have broken the law. So that's why I choose to stay humble. Because with my background, a very high percentage of people end up in jails, institutions or even die, just because they made one bad choice, at the wrong time.

I understand that we are all afraid and grieving for many different reasons. We are all living in a very confusing time. There's chaos, wars and many other heart wrenching things happening all over the world. That's why it's so important to treat eachother with kindness, compassion and empathy. This is not the time to criticize and judge each other.

Thank and I love you all my friends and family.β€οΈπŸ•ŠοΈβ€οΈ
