I judged someone quite harshly, in the last few months. I'm a flawed human being, and thus have no problem admitting this. I justified my sentiment with platitudes like, "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything".
But even in the midst of my judgement, a small voice whispered, "don't... just wait... you know life isn't so black and white..."
And then, like the clockwork that is my life, I "got it" this week... A chain of completely unforeseen events had me surreptitiously walking out that person's reality, and I realised how easy it would be follow suit.
Life is hard. It requires minute-by-minute conscientiousness, and mindfulness, and in the absence of these disciplines, outcomes are anyone's game.
