Another Reason To Be Sad While people easily spot other's mistakes and criticize them, they usually remain blind to their own imperfections. Sometimes I do it, too but after a few minutes left, I shame and start criticizing myself. I have many deficiencies. Before commenting on someone else's character, I should do something to improve myself. *** I mostly avoid making fun of people or laughing at them. There is a girl in my class who has a kind of hormonal disease or something. She has a visible beard. I hadn't known this untill two boys in my class showed one of her photos. Another dumbass had shared that photo on facebook.(Actually the photo wasn't that horrible.) That's why she was crying. Anyway, while those boys were laughing and telling me jokes about her, I almost cried. I put myself on her situation. I felt extremely sorry. Being like that isn't her fault. I tried to explain this to those boys, they didn't even listen to me. It's a funny thing for them. I guess they don't know they are not perfect. Sometimes I hurt people, too. However I don't do it intentionally. All in all, I am not an angel. Peace, Love, Empathy

Another Reason To Be Sad (Descending Deeper into Sadness)

As people easily spot other's mistakes and criticize them as they usually remain blind to their own imperfections. ("Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones", it is one of the proverbs which I think suits the context. :) The meaning is don't judge others, look at how you're being judged.) Frankly speaking, I do it myself, but after a few minutes of thinking, shame and critisim to myself come hand in hand. I have many drawbacks. Before commenting on someone else's character, I should do something to improve myself.

I mostly avoid making fun of people or laughing at them. There is a girl in my class who has a kind of hormonal disease or something. She has a visible beard. I hadn't known this untill two boys in my class showed one of her photos. Another dumbass had shared that photo on facebook. (Actually, the photo wasn't that horrible.) The whole situation reduced the victim girl to tears. Anyway, while those boys were laughing and telling me jokes about her, I almost cried. I put myself in her shoes. I felt extremely sorry. Having such sort of disorders isn't her fault. I tried to explain this to the boys, they didn't even notice my attempts. It's a funny joke for them. I guess they don't know they are not perfect.

Sometimes I hurt people, too. However, I don't do it intentionally. All in all, I am not an angel. Nobody is perfect.

BTW, I have something to share with your saddened classmate: I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but one thing which life has proved to me is that GIRLS & WOMEN are always beautiful, no matter what physical disorders they might have... Kindly let her know!

I find most everything in life funny, but I never laugh if it would be cruel. You have a good heart Seda.
