COMPASSION

MY PROFESSION WAS AS A SOCIAL WORKER. I WAS TRAINED TO REFRAIN FROM JUDGEMENT WHEN PRACTICING THERAPY WITH A PATIENT. I AM ALLOWED TO JUDGE FOR MYSELF I AM NOT ALLOWED TO JUDGE THE PATIENT.

I HAVE ALWAYS PRACTICED THIS IN MY PROFESSION. IT TENDS TO CARRY OVER TO MY PRIVATE LIFE IN MANY WAYS I CAN SEE. NO MATTER WHAT JUDGEMENT A PERSON MAKES I TRY TO SEE ANOTHER SIDE OR MORE SIDES TO THE SITUATION. THIS CAUSES ME TO ARGUE WITH MY HUSBAND A LOT HE SUPPORTS JUDGE JUDY IN MOST CASES I ALWAYS TRY TO SEE THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE PERSON SHE MAKES JUDGEMENT UPON, NO MATTER HOW STUPID THE DEFENDENT IS.
I KNOW THAT EVERY MIND IS A WORLD IN ITSELF, MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME THAT AS A 4 YEAR OLD GIRL BEFORE HE DIED.

I AM FORMED THAT WAY. SO NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY I MAY ARGUE WITH YOU. BUT AT THE ROOT OF MY ARGUMENT IS COMPASSION. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE SAYING THAT ANY POOR PERSON IS NOT ENTITLED TO LIVE OR MAKE A BETTER LIFE FOR HIMSELF.

I GUESS THAT IS WHY I WAS ABLE TO WORK SO SUCCESFULLY WITH CRIMINALS IN PRISONS. BECAUSE I CAN LOOK AT THEIR POINT OF VIEW AND I AM ABLE TO STATE MINE. WHAT THEY DO WITH MY VIEWS IS NOT IMPORTANT BUT I DARE TO HOPE THEY WILL ACCEPT I HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEM. AS THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR OWN OPINIONS .

MY DESIRE IS TO HELP PEOPLE HAVE AN OPEN MIND ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN ANOTHER PERSON'S MIND AND LIFE. I AM CERTAINLY NOT SAYING THAT A MURDERER IS ENTITLED TO MURDER I AM SAYING HE IS ENTITLED TO A FAIR TRIAL AND TO STATE WHAT HE BELEIVES IS HIS MOTIVE , I MAY RARELY AGREE WITH HIM BECAUSE OF THE HORROR A MURDER IS TO ME, BUT I WILL ALLOW HIM TO SPEAK OF IT AND NOT STATE MY JUDGEMENT ABOUT HIS ACTIONS. I WILL JUDGE THE ACTION ITSELF AND TRY TO HELP HIM REACH A STATE OF REGRET AND RECONCILAITION WITH HIS ACTION AND A DESIRE TO REACH A STATE OF WANTING FORGIVENESS FROM THE VICTIMS AND FAMILIES AND GOD.

I BELEIVE IN THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST. HE TAUGHT THAT LOVE IS THE ONLY ANSWER TO ANY PROBLEM. ONE CANNOT HATE AND FEEL THE LOVE OF GOD OR THE CONNECTION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.
WE ARE ALL CREATED BY GOD AND ESPECTED TO CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER AND THTA IS WHY WE ARE HERE TO LEARN TO LOVE AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND ONLY THEN CAN WE REACH A STATE OF HOLINESS WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND CONNECTION WITH GOD THE "ALL THERE IS" IN THE UNIVERSE.

AND YET I STILL HAVE A PROBLEM AT TIMES WITH GETTING ANGRY OR WANTING TO GET EVEN WITH SOEMONE WHO HAS WRONGED ME BECAUSE I AM NOT PERFECT. "HE TEACHES BEST WHAT HE NEEDS MOST TO LEARN" APPLIES TO ME VERY STRONGLY.
I CAN ONLY SAY " PATIENCE, GOD ISNT THEOUGH WITH ME YET". AMEN
