dishroom thoughts for the day...

Let me just say first and foremost- no, I'm not gonna analyze dishes today ....or really anything to do with dishes. : ) anyways,I have a headache- (I'm tired, I think I could've slept at least 2 more hrs. than I did without any problem) I was thinking today at work(while in the dishroom-hey, there's a certain peacefulness about it if you're in there by yourself : ) - about people- in general. You have to wonder, everytime you say something possible mean, or negative about someone- even though you may be "justified" in saying it- how will it reflect later? We don't know everything that's going on inside a person's head or in their life. Maybe that's why we're not supposed to judge- we aren't in the correct position to judge. We don't know everything about their lives, and most certainly not their thoughts, motives, or reasoning behind things. To be honest, we really do a very crappy job of understanding people most of the time. I have a friend that I haven't talked to for a couple of months from papau new guinea (png) (from kentucky mt. bible college) I think she understood this concept a lot better than most other people I've met. She knew there wasn't just the way people behave, or the things they do. There was the reason why ......... that is what she was interested in. you'll have a hard time convincing someone that what they are doing is wrong (if that's even you're place) if you don't even know why they act that way. It's almost as though by caring only about what they are doing- even if you may have good intentions- you are showing them precisely that- you only care about what they are doing- not them. If you actually take the time to learn why they are the way they are, you understand them better, and it also shows you actually care about them. You never know, people you meet may really just need someone to try and understand where they are coming from- so you can help them. I guess that's all my dishroom thoughts for today. Have a great day everyone! I'm still roasting over here. cya
