Who Are We to Judge?

Year 2004 is finally coming to a close. As usual, mummy and friends had our "Christmas slumber party"... save and except that for this year Mummy wasn't allowed to stay over.

It seems like everyone has been pretty caught up with our own lives lately... our jobs, housework, church etc. But other than that... nothing has changed.

Something rather unusual happened yesterday though. While waiting in line to use the washroom... a Japanese middle-aged lady wheeled her handicap father into the Ladies obviously to use the cubicle for the handicap. Of course like most other women... at that very moment I frowned upon seeing a grown up man in the Ladies. The thought however dissipated shortly when it dawned on me that maybe she was alone and nobody could have helped the poor old man. However, it wasn't long before the old man started wheeling himself out of the cubicle with the daughter calling out to him from right behind. Obviously the old man was feeling embarrassed... and his action left his daughter feeling upset with him.

The daughter probably didn't have a choice but to put up with the blatant stares from onlookers... but at the same time overlooked her father's feelings. The father in guard of his pride neglected the position his daughter was caught in.

Sometimes in life... we need to make tough decisions... decisions that may not necessary be right but probably the most appropriate one in the prevailing circumstances. So who are we to judge another person for the decision he or she made?
