My brother and his current wife see themselves as "better" and more driven than others. They treat people like they are better and then wonder why people don't like them. I told my brother once "you and your wife treat everyone like you are better than them and it makes people uncomfortable". He responded with "that's because we are and we have stronger values and ideals than other people". I shrugged my shoulders and said "hope that works out for ya". A few short months later their house was raided and the kids they were fostering were removed from the home under allegations of abuse and neglect. (No, I did not make a call, the parents of the children did). My brother was very violent and abused to me my whole life, he beat his first wife and his current wife. So I tend to believe the allegations were true. Some people think they are all that when they are little more than self inflated and ignorant.

I learn more by talking to a homeless man than I do some chief of police or self assigned man of God. The Jesus figure hung out with criminals and prostitutes. People who are judged by their accomplishments are usually rather lucky people who got lots of breaks along the way. People who are judged on their failures have usually gotten a lot of bad breaks on the way.

Stick with the winners and you will be surrounded by winners and happier. Stick with the losers and you might be less happy but learn much more about the value and truth of humanity.

Each person should be allowed to live in their truth and as long as they don't harm others, it would be nice if they weren't judged to harshly for it. You can never understand a persons path unless you have taken each step they have.

I wish you nothing but the best.
