Pause

GenXer Shamrocker ☘️

         Before you place judgment on someone whose journey is different than yours; think about it for a minute longer. Just pause. Before you believe everything you hear; remember there’s two sides of a story. Not everything is clear. Before assuming we have the answers to someone else’s way of life. Why not try to understand them better? You may not know all they have sacrificed. To judge a book by its cover does you a disservice. Every life is worthy. We each have a purpose. Before you say something you will soon regret; pause before you lose a good person you won’t be able to forget. Before judging someone else’s life who’s far different the yours. Remember; it might be better to simply pause.

    That’s fair… but what if you automatically don’t vibe with that person will you eventually?

    Agreed it is often better to pause. Good advice in more poetic form

    Yes, 99% of the time I blunder in with KP. 'I'm always right,' I say! lol.

    Never judge a book by its cover, read some of the story first, lovely write with positive message

    Full of wisdom, judgement and haste are two things I myself dislike, if the world was more empathetic and kind I guess positivity would come easier. 🌹
