Do unto others, walk a mile in their shoes, if the shoe fits…Being labeled, boxed, or post-marked for a certain category of life, the end result almost always comes out as having to explain, justify or tell your own story, when you really don’t want to because of hurt, resentment or sheer exhaustion (having to tell it repeatedly to many many people WILL result in exhaustion).
Most people wouldn’t give a second glance to what others might say, think or do, (unless it’s a rumor, then they might have to save face) because life just gets too busy to deal with it. Others, with a more sensitive tone, may have to take the time to quickly adjust, re-tell or amend the labels, and even that in itself is exhausting.
If one has a judgement, it’s better to be kept under wraps, unless of course, one is so bold to communicate and perhaps open the line of communication a little wider.
