My parents taught me to...
"PLANT A SEED OF LOVE"
(not a seed to judge)
Let it grow...
cultivate with patience...
water it with clean intention...
We all know that it is so easy to judge.
We ask someone about someone else and out comes the judgment:
"He's a thief,"
"He's a liar,"
"She's a disgrace to her family", etc..
But hey!
Do we have the right to make that judgment?
Do we know the circumstances surrounding the act?
When I was a kid, for me all fruit trees looked pretty much the same. They all had leaves, branches , roots, etc. The only time I could really identify the tree was when there were oranges on one and mangoes on another.
Our parents have nurtured us with much love in the heart. So we would think too that the world would treat us the same. All people have a heart and therefore we expect them to offer the same love like what our parents have. We expect people to be good coz we gave them goodness.. but in the course of our journey, a lot of people misjudged us based on what they have seen or heard outside, without knowing our real self.
Like a tree,
people judged others on the outside,
before the fruit is yet to come out.
It is like that when we judge. According to Fr. Steve, we do not know all the circumstances that lead to an act. People are like iceberg, 90% are hidden from sight. The fruit that show, good or bad are indications of what lies beneath the surface but we can never really know a person until they share their experiences.
Instead of judging others....
WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON LOVE
Let that full grown tree of love resides in your heart
and welcome the sunlight of peace
to shine upon it !

It is always dangerous to judge a person. Do you guys agree? well, I do :)
