"You never see the hard days in a photo album... but those are the ones that get you from one happy snapshot to the next." -Just Married
totally u know~ there are so many situations in which we see only the ends, forgetting the arduous means we took to get there. that's why the goal matters so much i guess. cos it is what others see. it is the tangible and the effable bird in the hand.
but character, attitude, personalities... all these are journeys, rather than destinations. that's why we can judge, we can criticize, but we must never condemn. cos while judging and criticizing serve as the barbed wire running along the sides of the road to ensure we stay on track, condemnation is the wheel clamp that locks you in position, allowing neither repentance nor reparation.
and somehow we always seem to forget. people matter. every single one. every individual - conscious, thoughtful, feeling and human. not just people within our lives but people without too. it's so easy grow distant and make a fair decision. in the name of justice. in the name of utilitarianism. in the name of discipline, standards, fairness. in the name of pride... or more euphemistically, the accountability of the word. it's so easy to slide.
