walk a mile

This has been turning over and over in me…I am really getting tired of seeing, hearing, and experiencing people being so self absorbed that they don’t take the time to notice those around them.  It amazes me how many times people ask the impossible of others without offering any help or ideas.  they expect everyone else to rearrange their lives to accommodate, but can’t put themselves in that person’s shoes for one minute to even try to relate to them much less experience what they are going through.  everyday is not peaches, roses and kittens for everyone.  before we decide to place judgements on others or to impose our standards on them, maybe we should step back and take the time to talk to them about what is going on with them.  People wonder why suicide rates are so high.  We put expectations on ourselves that are unrealistic then add on top of that the expectations of others add onto that people’s judgements!!!   Thank God that He exists to free us from the ideas of others.  Thank God that He makes the opinion of others irrelevant.  Praise God for f freedom from the condemnation of others.  For those who are those condemning others, maybe it is time to walk a mile in our shoes.  Try to think for one minute what life must be like for us.
