The diversity of mankind is too vast to ever be classified. You just cannot generalise anyone. But we still try... We try so that we can get a grip on how we should react to certain people or in certain situations. The same way we try to create 'steps' or 'procedures'. So that we have some sort of road map to follow. But some things are just impossible to understand. Sure, we conduct studies, surveys, tests and interviews to try and milk out information on what people are like. How accurate are these tests? They rely on the subjects understanding of himself/herself. And what happens if I don't understand myself? What if I honestly think that I'm this sort of person. I've met countless people who are far from what they think they are.

Then there are things like opinions, backgrounds, relativity, situations, environments and emotions to consider aren't there? To one person, being kind might mean giving money to charities. But to another, that may not be enough, instead giving time to help old ladies cross streets. Sometimes I wish I could just wrap myself up in my blanket and work on my own relationship with God. So I won't have to hear judgements being passed about other people and keep wondering what people think of me.
But that won't make things any better would it?

These verses really hit me when i came across them.

::: Verse of the Day :::
Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!
O people of Zion, who live in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. How gracious he will be when you cry for help! As soon as he hears, he will answer you.
Although the Lord gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, your teachers will be hidden no more; with your own eyes you will see them.
Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'
Then you will defile your idols overlaid with silver and your images covered with gold; you will throw them away like a menstrual cloth and say to them, 'Away with you!' "
| Isaiah 30:18-22 |
