False Judgment?!


Sometimes I wish I could come outside of my body and see how I operate from a third person's point of view. All that I can see, feel, smell, touch belongs to me internally; I cannot share it on a level that will make someone else feel my feelings as I do. Each person has his or her own feelings cemented in them. We cannot feel another persons hurt, every one feels their own hurt, we only can sympathize or feel hurt from the same experience but our feelings are our own. I wonder at times how people view me from their angle. From my angle I am very kind, compassionate, understanding, funny, caring, loving, honest... the list goes on. But what do people I come in contact with see and what do my friends see? Sometimes some judgements that are past upon me shocks me so much, I am not like that I would say! My body language might be misinterpreted and a whole different message and character is transfered wirelessly to the receiver and without me knowing someone may hate me, dislike me or love me, whatever the case may be I am oblivous at times to what their notion of me is until they snap or keep me at bay. I have friends of all walks of life and try not to judge, even if I am tempted to I try to remember that people are misjudging me too. I try at times to be safe and keep everyone new or even not so new at a safe distance so they only know Damian from a formal perspective and thus shadowing whatever notions they might be tempted to think about who or what I am, just to make sure they don't have anything tangible to misjudge me on. It hurts none the less when people treat you contrary to who you are because they already made you into something you are not in their minds. The evidence is clear in the wider world today that people hate people because they judge them from some uninformed point of view, whether it be ethnic, religious, sexist, etc. judgment is passed down on everyone from fallable and corrupt judges. The true judge of character is God (Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged..." Matt 7) The Bible is God's word to judge men and women we are not to judge each other but to point each other to God. I have been hurt but I will forgive and thus judgment ends with me each time it begins! I will not perpetuate false judgment is my prayer today.
