Loving strangers but judging former friends?
I really am completely confused.
And oh yes, sorry for the "stupid" question. What does this mean?

Maybe one day, I will grow up. Who know, miracles happen, right?

There's no such thing as stupid questions, my dear bear. You ask some wonderful questions. I'm not sure how everyone understands that phrase, but my guess is that it is about giving strangers the benefit of the doubt, while assuming that *former* friends have not changed and will keep on doing the same things they have always done (not in a good way).

Well..i say this:
Since strangers are STRANGERS, we don`t know them enough to really judge them. but former friends..

another thing is that seems to me that it says it is actually a bad thing. because strangers-we can imagine good things about them. MOST ppl seem nice at the begining, untill you know them well enough.

i am personally against being judgmental. both about ppl and about reality onm the whole. i ma trying to work on it:not judgin reality.

Fuzzy,
you soud very sarcastic about yourself. like you are being hard on yourslef.

am i right?
it sounds very bitter (and familiar to me form my own experience)

no miracle has to happen. you ARE grown up.
you just have to BELIEVE it and start acting from this point of view. What does this mean?

Yes, there are some people who have abused my trust. Therefore they never will deserve my trust again.
