Psalm 13914

Please Understand Me
Differences abound and are not at all difficult
to see, if one looks. And it is precisely these
variations in behavior and attitude that trigger
in each of us a common response Seeing others
around us differing from us, we conclude that
these differences in individual behavior are but
temporary manifestation of madness, badness,
stupidity, or sickness. In other words, we rather
naturally account for variations in the behavior
of others in terms of flaw and affliction. Our
job, at least for those near us, would seem to be
to correct these flaws.
