Being Human

 

As a human being, I am stupid sometimes. I judge people, I figure I know everything there is to know, and that is the end of the subject. Often, however, if I'm lucky I discover that I've had an issue completely wrong the whole time. 

Tonight , I watched a wonderful new show called "Being Reuben." It is on the CW channel, a reality show about a young man in England, who has become a social media influencer. He experiments with makeup in a wonderful way...for boys. I say wonderful, because I have been one who has had to change her mind about the transexual world. 

I have always had gay friends, I think even in grade school I had gay friends, but the transgender genre always confused me. I knew a girl recently who went through a change, and I began to change my viewpoint on the subject. I have always been a Christian, I never felt like I was an uber judgmental person, but watching this show Being  Reuben has been an eye opener. 

Someone who feels or sees  things differently than the general population suffers from the stares and glares of our eyes whether we know it or not. I was teased pretty bad about being skinny as a kid. Big friggin deal. Ya know? The kids who had anything different about them (when I was in Junior High School especially) were ridiculed - we, including me - would make endless fun of them. 

At the end of the day, though, we are only human, and it is to be human to have a flaw. It is only after empathy manifests itself that we might realize that our differences are glorious examples of God's love. 

Love to all, thanks for reading all that ⬆️ ya buncha lambchops.
