The Strange Street

I was startled when a friend of mine told me this:

"It's so sad thinking that religion makes us hate others..."

and as if nudged, I replied him:

"when it actually teaches to love others..."

I am not a prophet. My knowledge of religion is not thorough enough.

But the idea of condemning others twitch me.

This verse is always heard in my head:

"Do unto others just like how you want others to do unto you"

Maybe that's the reason most of the time I try my best to put myself into others' shoes before performing my logic.

But again,

easy said than done.

It's easy to preach, telling others what to do and not

But the ironic thing is: we doing exactly the same thing.

I have the tendency to judge others too. I condemn others although I barely know if the alibi is true.

and I am not proud of it.

Hey stranger,

I barely know you.

I have never even met you.

How could you judge and condemn me

just because people tell you to do so?

Will you punish me for my ancestor's sorrow?
