UNIQUE YET ONE

IDIOSYNCRASIES We judge each other over silly stuff. Stuff like skin color, hair color, eye color. Income level. religion. nationality. Sex. Age. None of which say the least about our personal character or our conduct or inner worth, or societal contributions. Yet, after all of that judging over unique idiosyncrasies, we turn right around and quote scriptures or verses condemning "judging!" Man may be hypocritical by nature, criticizing those who are different, while recognizing, cynically, their sameness with us . If you have a dog or a cat or none at all, is of no concern to me, nor does it say much about you. Being left-handed or right-handed is equally immaterial, very small things. But to some such matters are weighty. "Choking on a fly but swallowing a camel" is how Jesus Christ described such human ironies. Better to clean the interior of the cup--one's values, character, behavior--than appearance. We all share in life, we all live on earth. These two facts bind us together as one living specie, inexorably, however uniquely.
