What is fairest?

[Dennis J]

Judging people by what they WERE, or ARE?

Once I was a child, should I or anyone be judged by that standard in current life?

Once I was a knotheaded teenager, should I or anyone be judged by that standard in current life?

Once I was an arrogant worker, should I or anyone be judged by that standard in current life?

Examining myself closely, a 75 year old “gammalgubbe” I AM failing.  Should I be judged by that standard now?

Or, might I be judged by the public standard I have longed to be my entire adult life?  Perhaps I SHOULD be judged by how I judge others! Loving kindness is not easy to come by. It CAN, however, remain my purpose and desire.

How would you like to be judged?

i think it is safe to say that we will be judged on our WHOLE life rather than just one time period/action except for blasphemy of course...

The last two lines are the important bits Dennis, not always easy though.
