When you look at us, you see the bottom of the food chain. When we look at you, we see you one step away... who are we? - The Homeless #dontjudgeus

In a short while many people whom have looked down upon the disenfranchised are doomed to become one of them. Be careful to acknowledge how quickly your status/station in life can change. Treat everyone with respect.

Many ppl call themselves "real" or "the truth", (myself included), but actually most ppl are only real and truthful in areas of their comfort. Or else why would one become angry when another truth we have yet to acknowledge confronts us?.. #justathought In that regard, it suffices to say there is more than one truth. (Figuratively speaking, of course!)

The purpose of a dialogue is to inform, communicate ideas, and to get an understanding. It is a necessary evil. Some people are better at this than others. The easiest way to circumvent an uncomfortable exchange of words might be:

1. Do not become defensive

2. Do not respond in haste (examine the question acknowledging the character of the person asking)

3. Be brief in your response

4. Use simple language and terms so as not to offend.

Side note: To preface a reply with "no disrespect," or "no offense," is a clear sign that you are about to disrespect or offend someone.


Conclusion: People should not be punished for asking questions no matter how uncomfortable the questions may make you feel. If you are quick to anger, you should examine yourself and identify those truths you are trying to avoid. Even if you refuse to acknowledge this to others, it is good practice to be honest with yourself.

A general question only appears invasive when one fears they have something to hide. A person who is truly liberated (in Christ) is not one who is guarded.
