Today, I really need to get something off my chest..
Wouldn't the world be a much better place to live in if we
all accepted our differences? God creates us all in His image. Each and
everyone of us has a unique set of gift and talents given by God. We are not
superior to others, and everyone is equal in God's eyes despite of gender, race
and religion.
Unfortunately, we humans , our eyes clouded by greed and
sin, fail to realize that.
We as sinful humans tend to gossip about others and put
others down. I don't know why this human nature persists- maybe because humans
are insecure and feel better about themselves by putting others down.
Doctors are even worse- as they hardly have lives outside
the hospital, the hospital becomes a gossip mill. Usually I just keep quiet
when a group of people are talking bad about someone, but do wonder deep down
inside whether I can trust them- as what is to stop them from talking about me
behind my back? And doctors especially housemen are usually judged even before
they step foot into a department. Every department is the exact same.
Before you judge others, please think twice.
A person you call fat might be severely hypothyroid. A
person you call short might have Turner's Syndrome. A person you call weird
might have Aspergers. A single teenage mother might actually have been raped.
The person whom you call slow and clumsy might actually have
a coordination problem that causes their brain to fail to coordinate properly
with their hands and legs.
So please please do not judge others. We are all humans, we
all make mistakes and learn precious life lessons from them, we are all
children of God, we are all equal regardless of gender, race and religion.
Please do me a favor and start lifting others up inside of
putting others down. Give someone a compliment instead of a criticism. You
wouldn't lose anything and instead gain a friendship. And who knows you might
actually save a life.
I know it is hard and against human nature,, but you can do
it if you put your mind to it.
Thank you for listening.
p.s This is just a
general post, not targeted at anyone in particular.
