What the Eye can't See
Do you see the little girl that everyone degrades? Do you see the little boy that everyone picks fun at? Did you know that the little girl was abused every night she got home? Did you know the little boy was homeless and couldn't afford the things you poke fun of? We see the exterior, but we don't fully comprehend what's going on inside of one's home life. Look beyond the surface and try to gaze at the heart. Never belittle those you believe are not worthy because little do you know that person may have a lot more going on in their lives than you can possibly imagine. "Slut." "Whore." "Worthless." "Pathetic." These few are among the common things people refer to others as. No one is inferior to anyone. No one should look down at others as though they are. We are all equal. The way a person looks or acts may most likely be based upon the way that they are living at home. Why make matters worse? What the eye can't see are the things that truly matter.
