Judge gently if you can !
Don't find fault with the man that limps
Or stumbles along the road.
Unless you have worn the shoes he wears
Or struggled beneath his load.

There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt
Though hidden away from view.
Or the burden he bears placed on your back
Might cause you to stumble too.

Don't sneer at the man who's down today
Unless you have felt the blow
That caused his fall or felt the shame
That only the fallen know.

You may be strong but still the blows
That was his if dealt to you
In the selfsame way, at the selfsame time
Might cause you to stagger too.

Don't be too harsh with the man that sins
Or pelt him with Word or stone
Unless you are sure - yea, doubly sure -
That you have no sins of your own.

For you know, perhaps,
If the tempter's voice should whisper as soft to you
As it did to him when he went astray
It might cause you to falter too.

Kurt,
You are never alone and you are in my thoughts and prayers.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
So often we look at a calendar of days as merely a symbol of the passage of time. We forget why we are on this earth. We forget that there is a reason for all of the pain and all of the struggle. We forget that we were put on earth to learn something. If everything were perfect in this life, we would never learn anything new. We would not be able to elevate our spirits through the events that happen to us.
I am who I am and I am not going to change for anyone, so don't ask!

 This reminds me of my older brother that I'm sure is living on the streets somewhere. We lost track of him five years ago at his choosing. I miss him and love him and I want to help but I don't know where he is. I wish he would make contact.

 Hello JLH. Somewhat confused I started this handle hoping to find FriendFinder-x in Swedish, and then deleted it. Later I discovered the language preferences. Asking to have my handle back I was given this one.

I have actually diverted a malicious attack on you.

Remember that this is about constructive trolling. What irritates me is that a question like "I have had 22600 views, is this normal" is met with a lot of crap. Then I state the actual, and that is denied and so on...

Now I see that this method would not be fair unless one's ethics are impeccable. This trolling business could also advert dishonest people and I hope that my "Troll's Corner" will be an secretly accepted part of FriendFinder-x.

Of course I might be wrong. But sexuality seems to be reserved for some people while others are denied since we can not accept the conventional terms.

I have recently been betrayed in love. But I expected it and she has probably done me a favour.
