If I had seen the lady buying steak on food stamps, I would have probably thought...geez, I need to try to get foodstamps so I can have steak too. LOL I would have also been mentally calculating in my head just how much more she could have got if she had picked something else. On the other hand I probably would have thought that maybe she was preparing for a special occasion, and maybe buying steak was a treat. Even if you are poor and on food stamps, you deserve to have a treat every now and then.<br /><br />Kathy<br />http://gigglingtruckerswife.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564863484894692249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-12553071894201879342011-09-27T02:48:04.816-05:002011-09-27T02:48:04.816-05:00What an amazing post Laura, a lot of food for thou...What an amazing post Laura, a lot of food for thought!

I think to be human is to judge, it's just being aware of it and trying hard not to since we don't know the whole story.Laura Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04484480915813337237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3028902712658025433.post-77203559954746655982011-09-25T21:52:22.153-05:002011-09-25T21:52:22.153-05:00I'm copying and pasting my comment from the ot...I'm copying and pasting my comment from the other place:<br /><br />Excellent, thought-provoking post. I know my top three values: 1) Honor the voice within, which I see as God. 2) Honesty. I will tell the truth. Period. 3) Family (which for me, encompasses more than those with DNA connections)--I care for and am loyal to those I love.<br /><br />As far as the judging--I didn't make any assumptions when you described the lady, her child, and her food choices, but I definitely did when you said she paid for her items with food stamps. I immediately thought that if she genuinely needed food stamps (which I'm fine with--the fact that they have nice clothes does not for a second mean that they have not recently come on hard times), she needs to be responsible in making those food dollars stretch, and the items that she took from her cart do not, in my view, represent those that someone who is on a tight budget would select. So yep, I definitely made assumptions without knowing more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
