It’s been a long time for me to write something sentimental. It’s probably inspired by the book we’re reading in our couples’ group “Sacred Marriage.” It mentioned about how men are misunderstood women’s tears. Speaking from a man’s view, the author said men mistakenly link women’s tears with being weak. However through the author’s own experience in marriage, he discovered that sometimes women cry not because of they being weak by nature. On the contrary, women can still stay strong and think clearly when there’s such emotional break outs. Well, it is so in some cases. Not all. But the point the author communicated was, people are different, and we all need to respect one another’s differences, without coming to a conclusion based on our own ways of thinking.
It is just sad when some people just so easily make assumption and treat or judge others accordingly, even there’s a lot of time when those people are devoted Christians. People constantly mark people “good” or “bad” just because they are different than us, or “according to our standards” they are just not “good enough.” But what standard should we follow? Whose standard should “we” use to judge a person’s righteousness?
It’s really a necessary thing for everyone to realize each one of us has blind spots. And everyday we should be reminded that we are all sinners who need God’s grace, then we may be gracious to people when we realize how God has been gracious to us.
