When you assume. You make an as-s out of you and me. ***-u-me 😃

I read a good quote from Dr Phil about making judgements on people, e.g. giving people the benefit of the doubt, as alot of Christians believe that it is virtuous to give people the benefit of the doubt or judge everyone to be good.

However, if someone told you to go out and judge everyone to be evil, you would think it rediculous, so I believe it is just as rediculous to judge everyone to be good, as Jesus said, “I am sending you out like lambs into a pack of wolves so be as wise as snakes and as innocent as doves, watch out for people who will have you beaten in their meeting places.” and “There will be wolves amongst the sheep.” “By their fruits you will know them.” he also told us “Don’t give to dogs what belongs to God, as they will only turn and attack you and don’t throw pearls down infront of swine, as they will trample all over them.”

So I believe we shouldn’t judge anyone, good or evil, instead we should all gather information about people and make an informed decision, this way we don’t give to dogs what belongs to God and we don’t hold back from God what belongs to God.

*“I believe giving people the benefit of the doubt is reckless, not virtuous.” *Dr Phil.

Is this the sort of answer you were after? I hope I helped.

Thank you for reading

while that is all good, its not really applicable to what i need. im writing something about a government bureaucrat, whom is simply doing his job while getting cursed at by people hes working with. Dr. Phil is not really appropriate for this as well
