Our mind is a funny thing. It likes to normalize everything we do and question what everyone else does.
Recently I was driving down the highway and was behind a car with the license plate that read: CNCRSUX. I read this to mean cancer sucks. I ended up passing the car and when I looked over the person was smoking a cigarette. My mind instantly went banana’s.
I also have friends that have made comments about lots of random things: motorcyclists who wear helmets and shorts at the same time. Or leathers and no helmet.
People that are wearing a mask pulled down and smoking. The list of oxymoron’s is endless.
But aren’t we all just trying to get along in this world?
Diabetics eat sugar but take medicine.
People with anxiety drink caffeine.
Overweight people work out.
The saying goes that a Plumber’s pipes are always leaky. It’s a saying for a reason people! It’s true! What you do all of the time, is not enjoyable for you to do when you are ready to relax!
We like to judge others, or maybe contribute to the lunacy and just try to take care of others, but we often miss ourselves. Or we are trying to make up for a lack in our own lives. Likely, we are just projecting onto other people our past inadequacies.
We all fall short of the perfection that is our Lord Jesus Christ. But why is it SO HARD to always forget that and give grace to people?
Most of the time I chalk it up to being a comedian and finding the funny aspects of life. Is it okay to laugh about my perception of someone or some thing? I used to think I had an evil spirit, but I have grown spiritually and recognize that when I am judging someone, it’s not to hurt them, it’s to entertain me. I’ve also learned to laugh at myself. Maybe I’ll be like Mother Teresa someday and will mature even further to look past those things. My focus is on love. Show someone you love them today. Don’t just say it, actually show it.
