Other People

A  L  O   H  A !

No one wears a sign.

We interpret the

behavior of others.

We are pattern matchers.

Finding what we expect

interpreting behavior

so that it fits our view

of ourselves, of others

of the World.

But what if we made

the choice to see

the Truth and not

our favored version?

What if we made

allowances for others

just as we do for 

ourselves every day?

They are human too.

Why do we leap

to the harshest

conclusions?

What if?

What if we felt

fellow feeling first?

What if we felt

compassion for the stressed,

not judgement and 

a cheap superiority?

What if we 

were strong enough

and loving enough to

forgive and assume allowances

for others as we

do without pause for

ourselves every day?

You do not choose 

your neighbor.

But you can choose

your world.

This is the better way.

For yourself,

for all of us.
