Trust, not judge others

I finished reading a story that carried the moral never to judge others because we don’t know what their life is all about and was left wondering about how easy it is to judge others and how difficult to trust them. How easily we rush to judge others, criticize them, and mock them but never to understand them or trust them. How easy it is go around saying that such and such person did this and that wrong to me but never pausing to think how we treated them. Is it that our ego and our self have made us so shortsighted that we are unable to perceive the pain, the hurt of others? Or is it that we do not care enough to sit and think? Think of our own behavior, our own failings, our own faults? Why it is that it is always difficult to be more loving and caring, while so much easier to be critical of others? Why is it easier to laugh at others than to share their grief? Why don’t we trust those who do us good? Maybe it is time to peek inside our hearts and search for that loving part that has got lost in our selfish actions. Maybe it is time to introspect and search for our inner being that was born as a loving and caring person. Maybe it is time to forget ourselves and learn to trust others.
