Hey you!
You're not the apex of existence you know.
You are not the most perfect being created.
You are not perfection personified.
So then why, in your imperfection, do you find it necessary to compare others to yourself and find them wanting?
Because they are not the same religion as you they are to be made fun of?
Because they are not the same color as you they are to be belittled?
Because they are not the same "quality" as you are they can be made the butt of jokes?
Because they are not the same ethnicity? Social Class? Member of the same geographic region of the world? Member of the same economic bracket? Because they don't work the same kind of job you do? Come on, what's the justification?
I don't understand, maybe because I am begining to understand that "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" isn't just a nice religious quote from the Bible. It's something that applies to every aspect of our lives.
So, you, Mr./Ms/Mrs. Perfection, given the above mentioned Biblical directive from the only perfect being created just what justification do you have now to criticize others? I'd really like to hear it.
