My creativity is waning. The words are not flowing. But the end is sight! Will my kids ever read any of these? I have them in mind as I type away but what are the chances any of these words will be around when they are old enough to care?
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
-Rumi
I believe it is not my place to judge others. Who among us is pure and without fault? Who among us has a perfected character and saint-like virtues? Not me. We are all sinners (as the Christians like to say). I think none of us has earned a position to pass judgment on others.
My job is to deepen my own soulful qualities. If I throw stones at others for their imperfections, I become distracted from my own journey. It is sometimes easier to criticize others for their mistakes and imperfections than to examine ourselves for our weaknesses and foibles.
I may not like what someone has done, I may choose to distance myself from someone that I disagree with. It's okay to draw boundaries and protect myself. But it is not my job to condemn and pass judgment.
