JUDGES

They say that I am

A rebel,

An individualist,

A nonconformist,

Maybe that is true.



They say that I am

Egotistical,

Arrogant,

Selfish,

Maybe that is true.



They say that I am

An outsider,

A misfit,

A nobody,

Maybe that is true.



But who are THEY to say?

These members of the society

in which I exist.

Are they superior, more holy than I,

farther from sin?



IF NOT, THEN LET THEM NOT JUDGE ME!

And dont waste your time on them.....then U may be judging them.
Live your very life,as happy as u can.
Only individuals...who were termed as an outcast or rebel are the one who had found what freedom is.
And we later worshiped them as Gods.

Thats how the past had been.So talk some sense to them who judge others.Or just dont care.....u just go your way.

"Judge not,that ye be not judged.
For what judgement ye judge,ye shall be judged."

"He that is without sin among you,let him first caste a stone"

Ask them to read and understand the Bible well:)
Then let them judge.
