Every time you judge another, I challenge you to do better than him. But not to do better than him by looking from outside, from your own shoes, but to live decades in that human’s shoes, to win and to lose everything he lost and won, to feel everything that human felt through his whole life in the infinity of the details inside of him and then to do better than he does at this moment.
Two kids are slapped by their parents. One kid feels it in one way, the other another way on their tiny bodies and big souls. One is laughing over the years; the other one is forever traumatized. Another kid feels a whip word and carries it deep within for a lifetime. One kid was caressed by his mother on Wednesday at 5:46 a.m. Another kid was not caressed by his mother on Wednesday at 5:46 a.m. A parent loses his child and feels a pain that no being should ever have to feel; another is abandoning his child because he doesn’t feel strong enough to raise him; another is raising his child the best he can. A man feels the wind one way, the other some other way.
Billions and billions of connections, of feelings, an infinity of details in a puzzle called a human being. Another human being. Whom you are starting to judge looking from inside your own puzzle. His puzzle is not the same as your puzzle. You are wasting your time and energy judging another. Why do you do it?
