The past colours flow into the present to tint the vision of the viewer. How can anyone be perfectly unbiased or non-judgemental? No one can, only saints maybe. Whenever we meet someone, the first impression formed itself is biased. Look at the person's shoes... and the clothes! What about friends and friendship? Is this seemingly 'above all' relationship suffer from the pain of judgement? We confide in our friends, the black, white and the grays of our lives are often laid bare in front of out friends. We lay bare our skeletons and our closets. At night, we sleep peacefully, covered with the quilt of trust. Sometimes this trust scares me. Of being so naked and vulnerable and to trust so much. But then that is what God made friends for. To place out implicit trust in them. Just as a toddler trusts its mother... this is the kind of trust that is there. But then no one has seen the screenplay of God.
But till then, I for sure, hope and pray every night that I may never judge so much as to be judged... that my vision of my loved ones be free of the stains of their past... May the Almighty give all my friends the same vision.. Amen!
