"Counting other people's sins does not make you a saint.'

This is a tough one for us two-leggeds. Whereas on one hand it is good to have discernment and consider outcomes of choices - and one way to do this is to be aware and observe the cause and effect in the lives of those you come in contact with from day to day - - - -however, we do NOT know thier whole story.
Even those we may share our homes and day to day lives with have parts of themselves we are not privy to - perhaps ever. We do not know what has put them where they are now - and if we think we know - - we are like the blind men who thought they understood what the elephant was when in truth their understanding was quite limited.
This writing is for me also - - it is so easy for me to judge another. I decide what is good/bad ... virtue/sin ... over and over many times in one day. We do not even fully understand our own mechanisations - - - - - - what makes us / me think i could ever fully understand another.
The Creator has given me a primary task : LOVE ...
This loving does not mean condone or support poor choices in self or others ...
This loving does not mean allowing self to be victim . . .
This does mean just LOVE ...
.. not 'put up with' ..
.. but full bore be a conduit of love for all ..
