JUDGE NOT

.

.

Good judgement is necessary

To know what is right and good for ourselves

But judging others is unnecessary

To proclaim that their personal choices are wrong and bad

When it does not concern us at all

For the grey areas, where others decisions

Impact our own, directly or indirectly

There is law, and the process of making law

(Which never includes name calling and fist fights)

Plus the process of electing those who make law

Those we think will improve society

This is extremely hopeful

Because society HAS improved

Slavery is abolished, women can vote

Animals have laws to protect them

Yes, there is still much to do, and we will do it

Not by judging and attacking those whose behavior we disagree with

But by carefully selecting the law makers

Writing to our representatives

While here, on our tiny personal level of society

We can agree with those we agree with

Yet not be disagreeable with those we disagree with 

Harmony and peace are both a grass roots movement

And a titanic undertaking for all of humanity

And it starts right now, right here

With me honoring your personhood

And you honoring mine
