It's a Sad Thing
The day after my previous blog went up, I commented to a good friend to make sure she didn't misunderstand. Here is the part of that comment I'd like to share.

Yeah, this blog wasn't a judgment against anyone in particular at all, there's no way I can say who has or hasn't changed, because even sometimes we seem exactly the same on the outside but could be quite different on the inside, no one knows what's inside except ourselves... but it was more of a general feeling when looking through [high school] grads, you know.. like to see how the years just go by, people grow old and die never having learned what this short existence is about, never really understanding the root of their Being, never really understanding anything at all... and it's a sad thing to fret about this life and forget the root of our Being... it's like leaving a best friend for money, or leaving a spouse for a drug... we'll only realize once it's too late...

I also find it quite disheartening to see how the people around me appear blind so to speak to the matters of the heart...like those you discussed in your original post....
tho I am learning to look at it differently. believing in,The idea that everything has its time and place; and(quoting amusician) "theres a time and place for everbody's taste". I believe in reincarnation hence I can be hopeful that my friends turn to see will come in due time, in the timeline bid by the Supreme Being, and aside that tryn to be grateful for the little knowledge and understanding thats come and is coming to light in this life time.
And personally, I dont see any harm in judging (if thats right word) an aspect of someone's life I have more knowledge about- if am very sure that the beam in my eye has been removed .. i think reality is what it is, and its a natural feeling indeed to express how we feel about something, just as long as we are seeing it with a loving heart and a pure mind (clear understanding comin from experiential knowledge) but and carefully not thinking of ourselves more highly than we should. Sober judgment.
Consider this thought: Maybe in our past lives we were just as blind, and maybe it took many lives for our eyes to adjust to the light and begin to see what truly maters

Yes well said, it is still a sad thing. I can look at my own past and only be thankful for the help I've been given to start waking up, and realize the potential always that I could fall back into sleep.
Part of that help has been the right judgment of those awakened Men, who tell us we are asleep and are wasting the little light that we have in us, squandering it on this life. Of course that kind of message isn't for someone who is stuck in this life, but to someone who has the potential to change, and that is what matters in realizing the sadness of such a wealth of potential but such an ignorance to it, to ourselves, to what we are capable of achieving in our lives, that we can change from that, we can rise up.
