"There are those you love, and those you just don't know yet..."

This has indeed been my thought for a very long time. The more you get to know somebody the more you understand where they are coming from, you know why they do the things they do and appreciate who they are. Most people are born with good intentions, and although society is in serious moral decline, most people are brought up with a basic understanding of right and wrong, and what they don't know you realize you can't hold them accountable for. Everyone has their own story and their own struggles. The more you know about what somebody has been through, the more your heart is inclined to love and assist them. This is a trite example, but if you have followed the show LOST, then you know at first glance there are a bunch of strangers on an airplane, some with very shady pasts. But as the show opens up their lives, you come to love and appreciate even a criminal like Sawyer. Some people carry burdens from their past- guilt, shame, revenge, anger, abandonment, heartbreak... etc. Receiving love and understanding is the best cure for any of these troubles. And I think we could all do a better job of judging less and loving more. So if you don't already love somebody- then maybe you just don't know them yet.
