I guess the though...Yes, I was taught this way too. I guess the thought in those days was that if people made bad choices, there was something about their circumstances that caused them to make those bad choices.<br /><br />My mother used to say of people who didn't behave in either a good or proper way: "They just don't know any better." I was also taught by teachers and Sunday school teachers to say of anyone I might tend to judge, "There but for the grace of God go I." We could certainly use such examples today of what USED to be conventional wisdom.Ellie Finlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05807252889442220449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020024246126389.post-48374561652021597732012-08-08T10:12:41.389-05:002012-08-08T10:12:41.389-05:00What has happened to our world? Somebody, please,...What has happened to our world? Somebody, please, tell me. This was what I was taught when I was growing up. This was how the grown-ups around me, for the most part, behaved. No more. Those same people are now some of the most judgmental people I know when it comes to giving people a hand out/up which is part of loving others. What happened in the intervening 50 years? Now it is do they deserve it, could they provide for themselves if they made better choice, I don't agree with their lifestyle, etc., etc. It makes me tired.<br />Carolyn L.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23020024246126389.post-36709431185088353672012-08-03T21:46:29.439-05:002012-08-03T21:46:29.439-05:00I wish more people understood this thought - deepl...I wish more people understood this thought - deeply!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203286781888444548noreply@blogger.com
