Analysis of Judge
Would you judge a tree wrong because it
didn't grow the way you wanted it to?
Would you judge a flower wrong because it
wasn't the color you wanted it to be?
Would you judge an animal wrong because it
didn't look like you wanted it to?
Would you judge the ground wrong because it
wasn't as soft as you wanted it to be?
If you wouldn't judge these then why judge
me?
You can accept that a tree grows the way it
should.
You can accept that a flower has the color
it should.
You can accept that an animal will look the
way it should.
You can accept that the ground will be the
way if should be.
Why not accept me?
