How bad do they have to be before....?
« on: March 06, 2012, 04:10:12 AM »
An acquaintance of mine has just been diagnosed with bad cancer. That person is not a good person, and has been methodically unscrupulous in every activity that I am aware of. This is a bad person who is un-trustworthy, raised kids badly, deals dirty, and is the kind of person I do my best to avoid.
 
But I can't help feeling a bit sorry about it.
 
How bad do they have to get before I'm doing cartwheels, high-fiving everybody, and singing Zippedee-Doo-Dah?

Hold off on the cartwheels. Nobody is just one thing.
Jesus said we should treat other as we'd want to be treated... and he didn't qualify that by their party affiliation, race, or even if they're of diff religion.

     Well I have for the mostpart tried to enter into any transaction in a fair and open objective and always tried to raise my children in the correct way and they seem to be doing OK in their lives, been fairly successful financially, as to say I dont rely on the government for ANY handout not rich but not doing without either, however at 53 I was diagnosed type 2 diabetic, 55 hgad a stroke that almost took out my right side, 58 had throat cancer, and 60 had to have a quad by-pass, so the only advice I have to offer is hold off on the cart wheels as it may come back to haunt you!!   Jim

Just shows that inside you are not a bad person.
You still feel some sort of sorrow for someone who is down on their luck.
As a person/parent he may have been a bad person but as a human being he is worth giving a little consideration and maybe even some help!
