Man is
fragile
. A 4mm stone can cause a grown man to cry when found in his
kidneys
.
Yet man is resilient. Tell a man he will have to piss out the stone and he won't just go off himself. He'll stick around and go through the pain.
Whenever I drive nearby Victoria Park I see the
homeless
. No matter how hot and humid it gets, they are still there. They do not just quit. Resilience at some level, that's respectable.
Maybe I try to look for things I can respect about them, because on almost any other occasions I catch myself judging them.
I know the deep truth to why I judge. I judge because I am
insecure.
Things that do not bother my ego do not get seen. I accept them passively as a matter of fact. Things I won't let go of, those are what still bother me.
I once was so close to being homeless. But then I was saved by a friend of mine. I like to think it was because I was special and that those homeless people just need to either work hard or be special enough to be saved like I was. But there is my insecurity.
