Can We All Agree…

In these last two weeks, I have been thinking one thought over and over and over again. Why do we ALL feel the need to tell others how to live their lives? I am not a historian in any way, but looking back throughout history, I find there are SO many examples, TOO, TOO MANY, where things have gone horribly wrong and the consequences have been WAY TOO gruesome and catastrophic, to even begin to think on a personal level it is a good idea for me to tell others how they should live.

The reality for me is pretty simple. I have PLENTY of work to do just trying to keep my OWN life in balance and on a good course. I find this difficult and more than challenging enough. There is NO REASON for me to seek out others when I don’t have my own life in perfect shape.

In the words of Jesus, “Whoever is without sin can cast the first stone…” It just seems to me that each time in this world we “cast a stone at another” it simply does not end well. Can we agree, at least maybe begin to THINK about agreeing, to work on our own lives and make sure our OWN backyards are kept clean before we cast stones at others?
