Just a little reminder

I'd like to get real for a minute...While sitting in the car waiting for John in a not so good part of town I saw someone. A person who looked like an older man wearing jeans, and a dress hanging down over them. This person seemed to have breasts not sure if real or not. And I made a snarky comment to John saying is that a man or woman? Then laughed. I then sat there observing this human being. Yes I said human being, because what difference does it make he/she? This person has feelings and emotions and I just passed judgement on them. I am ashamed of myself. I have no right to make assumptions about that person. I don't know what situation they are in or what's going on in their life. Maybe they are just a weirdo and that's ok. Who am I to judge. I observed this human being and they seemed sad and uncomfortable. I felt sorry that I had made fun of them. I began to cry a little for all the hate, judgment, and sorrow in this world. I know as human we cannot help judge sometimes but next time you realize you are passing judgment on someone please take a moment and step back. There is so much negativity in this world. As this person walked past the car they glanced up at me and I smiled politely. They seemed surprised and smiled back with a somber look. That may have been the one positive thing that happened today for them. A smile can make someone's day. You never know what is going on and it could be the one nice thing in their life at that moment.
