Why do you think they call it the circle of life? Why that particular chosen shape? I feel it's simply because we are all connected equally. Remember what we learned in secondary school maths? The distance from the center is all the same, and that signifies equality. Ok, maybe it sounds a little rubbishy but think about it. Our actions, our words, they all affect someone else, be it directly or indirectly.
When we pass judgement against someone else, that someone becomes a victim, a prey, vulnerable and helpless against the force of words, for we are the one who holds the power of verbal abuse. When we smirk at someone on the street, or stereotype people in terms of their race, sexual orientation, or for whatever other category. we become the predator. And that isnt very nice is it?
What is the right thing to do, as opposed to what I want to do. There's a fine line but huge difference here. Many church go-ers, proclaim that the right thing to do is to follow God's word, but perhaps only a few ultimately do it because they want to. Perhaps many fear the consequence, the ultimatum that might be metted out to them should they stray from what is biblically translated right. And yes, I use the word translated, for everyone has their own interpretations. I feel that your relationship with God should be unique and not be bound by rules, and if it feels right, and you feel that you are basically a good person, that maybe it's the right thing to do, even if a thousand people tell you otherwise.
Think. Before you do anything, or say anything, or pass judgement, think. Is it wrong only in your eyes, or are you just adhering to norms? But deliberation has to be given for many things, that makes us a more open-haerted person. We give more than we take.
