Nabubuhay tayo na maraming galit, hidwaan at suklam sa mundo man o sa simbahan. At dahil sa mga ito tuluyang nahahati ang ating pagiging kumonidad. (Our being community is torn apart by this.) Nahihiwalay ang mabubuti sa ibang mabubuti, ang mga naglilingkod sa ibang naglilingkod at madalas kapag nakikita natin ang ganitong sitwasyon parang nawawalan na din tayo ng gana.
Ang nakakalungkot kapag nanghuhusga tayo sa iba ay gamit pa natin ang ating alam sa biblia o sa moralidad upang tuluyang bumagsak ang isang taong nagsusumikap na bumangon sa pagkadapa at itama ang kamalian or we judge when we are hurt because simply we don’t feel respected for something done by others for the good of the many. Or we accuse others for stupidity and lack of common sense simply because we have a wider perspective, more exposure and they do not have.
One sad thing about education is when we know more, we become angrier for the ignorance of the many and angrier for not hitting the right thing and we find ourselves shaking heads and say tsk tsk tsk…then easy for us to pass judgments, in fact almost automatic, kahit hindi sinasabi.
Note that when truth and the Gospel break through, the first mark is compassion, not anger. Kapag tayo ay tinamaan, nilaslas ng katotohanan at ng mabuting balita ang unang peklat ay habag, hindi galit.
This is what Jesus telling us, remove the plank from your own eye first; then you will see clearly to take the speck from your brother’s/sister’s eye.
When we go deeper into our person, we see how complicated our composition is! Not necessarily our biological make up but our psychological, mental and spiritual composition, something that we haven’t explored a lot but known to God who created and knew us from the start of our life.
The is the point: when we ourselves, sometimes, find it difficult to understand why we say or do a certain thing, how much more in understanding others? Kung hindi nga natin maintindihan ang ating sarili minsan, yung iba pa kaya? Hindi din nila naiintindihan ang kanilang sarili sa lahat nang oras.
Before compassion and not judgement flow out of us, it has to be nurtured first. There has to be something deep inside us that need to be established, i.e. the fact that we are loved by God. When we realize that, then it is easy for us to say a blessing than a judgement.
