Everyone has a story to tell,
Of the hardships they faced and the obstacles they overcame,
Of the times they triumphed and the times they failed.
Of the times they were misunderstood and took on the blame and the shame.
Everyone has a story to tell,
Experiences that have changed them in some ways.
Either pushed them in their cocoons or made them a rebel.
But who are you to judge, who are you to say?
Everyone has a story to tell,
Of the trials and tribulations that made them who they are,
Each have embarked on their own journeys of discovering what’s their heaven and hell.
They maybe different than you, but doesn’t give you the right to call them bizzare.
Everyone has a story to tell,
Of the person they once were and the one they are now,
Bid your age old notions and pre conceived judgements farewell,
Instead try to appreciate all they have endured and how.
If you really want to know,
Get to know their stories, get to know who they really are,
Don’t demean, don’t discriminate, don’t judge and stoop so low.
Be kind, be understanding, be their hero, be their superstar!!


We are often so quick to judge. Whenever we come across anyone a bit different than us, immediately, and probably subconsciously, we form an opinion about them. It could be hatred, dislike, or even pity. Frankly, none of that is acceptable. All we have to do is get to know them as people, listen to their stories, learn from their life lessons, get inspired by their journey and their resilience towards all challenges, learn to empathise and not sympathize and finally to wholeheartedly accept people as they are. We just have to train our mind to be less judgemental and to be more open, more thoughtful, more compassionate. It’s not that difficult. Do let me know your thoughts on this. πππ
Could not agree more!

This is such important reminders, very omportant lesson. Very sad to see judgments rule not only in society but often even in family relations. The willingness to understand and listen open heartedly to another changes the experience of this world for all involved. No opinions needed unless asked for, and given with good intention.

You’re absolutely right Pragalbha… most of these judgements and biases are passed down from one generation to the other so maybe that’s where we start by imparting correct wisdom to the future generations. And some other baises are our own doing…that is upto each individual to work on and proactively change the mindset…one baby step at a time and hopefully we can bring about a significant change in the society as a whole.

This is very true indeed. We are quick to judge others, but in reality we don’t exactly know what they’re going through. So, it’s better to understand and empathize with them, and be a little more open minded instead of jumping to conclusions.
