No Stones To Throw

No Stones To Throw

I've never been big on judgement. I mean, who the Hell am I to cast stones? But here's the thing. Social media has made it acceptable for everyone to be judgmental. At least once a day, I see someone post something, and then someone who knows them in real life calls them out. What point does this serve? We have got to move away from this bullshit....

If someone post something and it is really not true to their character, so what? When someone post a selfie and they're feeling themselves today, let them. If someone post something about their belief system and you don't agree, it really is okay to remain silent. I grew up in a time when social media wasn't a thing. It's not that I was a bad kid, but I did go through a rough phase in my late teens and early 20's. Those years I am not proud of. But I got the benefit of them not being posted all over the web for me to be crucified. Therefore, I have no stones to throw.

Surely we all have had less than perfect days. I am sure there are things that we would love to forget. And maybe you have. And then out of the blue, some mother fucker cast a stone and puts you out there. Come on now. Are we so insecure in ourselves that we must take a shot at another? Glass house, baby.

So I end with this. You fucked up in the past. You know it, I know it, we all know it. And while there are stones at my feet, please know you are safe here. There is no judgement. Because I too, have fucked up in the past. I believe we are all doing our best. And if you're not, I still hold no judgement. I have no idea what events lead you to acting out. So I will say nothing. Instead, I will silently bless you. And if you curse my blessing, I will love you even more. Because stones build walls. And we cannot heal when we spend all of our time climbing them.

I love this. Do you know how many times a day I start to comment on a post and then the Good Lord reminds me that I am not to sit in judgement of anyone. Thank you Vance for speaking your truth.
