Dear…..
Tuesday, May 26th, 2009To Whom it May Concern,
Why are you so worried about what everyone else is doing and so quick to judge their situation? I can’t believe that you don’t see what a hypocrite you are. I can’t believe you hide behind your religion and justify your judgements. I can’t believe you will shun others based on the fact you think they are living their life in the wrong way.
Why do you think you are right and everyone else is wrong? Why do you think it is best to turn away from people rather than love them? Who are you and why do you get to decide what is best for everyone? Why do you think you are so much smarter than everyone around you?
Have you really had so little life experience that you won’t allow people to live their own lives and their own decisions? Will you really not allow people to actually make their own decisions and learn and grow in a different way than you and, heaven forbid, believe in different things than you and speak differently and act differently and be different? Do you really not see that what people decide to do with their own lives is none of your business and doesn’t really effect you anyways?
I am so frustrated. I keep rambling on in hope that I will find the right words to make you view yourself in reality. I would love to pop your bubble but since I actually believe all the things I said I will allow you your own path.
Sincerely,
Tammy
(To the readers of this blog, feel free to add anything to this letter. I hope it gets to the people it needs to get to.)
I obviously don’t know the situation, Tammy, but I’m sorry you’re going through this!
My preacher just preached a sermon on hypocrisy, the passage stating “why are you trying to remove the speck from your neighbor’s eye when you have plank in your own.”
Hope the situation gets better.
I am not really going through anything at the moment. But I find myself feeling this way a lot and not just for me but for other people too. So this letter is literally to whomever it may concern.
Yeah, some people are just not happy unless they are able to find fault in others. It’s the only way they can feel good about themselves. It’s so easy to judge people. This post is a good reminder not to be that way.
good post- I totally agreed. wouldn’t we all just be so much happier if stopped worrying about what everyone else is or isn’t doing. You are so fun to talk to, I had so much fun on our run- even though I was kind of in pain.
