Before I even begin this entry, I just want

all my dear friends to know this in no way applies to them........This is me entirely , how I feel about myself, those around me and the world in general. But I will say it comes to light with certain circumstances that have taken place abroad in J-land. I seriously gave this alot of thought, as well as some deep soul searching. I know at some point I'm going to offend someone. All I can say to that is "That's life". Not everyone will agree with my thinking. And I most certainly may not agree with yours.......but I will respect you as a person, an individual who has a right to their own opinions. Fair Enough? If you like the following segment , feel free to use it as your own, post it, pass it on, the world could use a little more enlightment don't you agree?

I Will Not Judge You

For your beliefs. For I have friends from every spectrum of beliefs across the map. My feelings are whatever they need to keep the warmth of their souls alive. Who am I to say what you need to give you strength in your day?

By the color of your skin. Your skin, hair or eye color, have nothing to do with the heart within.

I will not judge you for your wealth. For richer or poorer , you still have a soul, a heart that nourishes friendships and love.

Nor will I judge you for your age. For we continue to learn no matter what age we are. Everyone has something to contribute to our lives if we listen.

Most certainly not for your health. I have seen the weakest of the weak with the biggest hearts alive. No matter what your health you still feel, need, love just like everyone else. Everything outside is but a shell that holds the heart within.

I will not judge you for the company you keep and call friends. Life is made up of a variety of humanity. What may interest one person may not interest another. Keeping an open mind to all aspects of life, leaves no room for judgement here.

There is no judge , who can tell you who your heart belongs to; Who your partner of choice may be. That is all there is to say on this subject in a nutshell. Many times in life we don't even have the choice ourselves when it comes to who our hearts are most fond. I find no wrong in someones happiness and love.

I will not judge you by the country of your birth or loyalty. There is a world out there beyond my doors.......why should I shut out the possiblity that another way of life may be lived by others? They still bleed, they still hurt and most important of all they still love.

Nor will I judge you for the job you work, or the lack of work thereof. As the old saying goes it may be a dirty job, but someone has to do it (winks) We all make a living in our own way. Living day to day tends to require a bit of work wouldn't you say?

I will not judge you by the clothes you wear. My wouldn't the world be boring if we all wore the same clothing, with no personality what so ever? Be as funky or bland as you desire. Give in to your hearts content.

I certainly won't judge you for the home you keep. Wither you live in a tent , or a mansion keep. I see a human being in need of a friend no matter who you meet.

I'm not a judge, a jury, or anything else that will condemn you. I am a Friend !!

I accept you as you are. Nothing less , nothing more. In matters of the heart, I'll keep you close for friendship does NOT judge another.

I hope you found some enjoyment in this......I will NOT judge another. This is who I am, take it or leave it. Don't expect me to abandon my opinions or choices because they may not mirror yours. In the end we are all human beings who can think and choose for ourselves. If we all followed the simple philosophy of this post, wouldn't the world be a lot kinder, gentler, loving and forgiving? For all we could wish, it comes down to those who DO judge. Perhaps someday we will all agree to disagree in the essence of harmony. Stay safe and loved !!!
