The limit

I got a short message from a little bird yesterday.
It dropped abruptly when the bird tried to reach the bars in my back window.
It's only a simple message, though the way it came to me was unusual.

"You know my name, not my story. You've heard what I've done, not what I've been through"

I do not know what other people may think about this message, but for me, it just remind me not to judge people at anytime we see them.
We may know them, know what they've done or said, but we may never know how they live their life, or whatever reasons they have for their acts or talks.
The message give me clear visions about certain limits in our interactions with other people in daily basis.
It’s a very human thing that we usually become so curious with everything about life, including other people's life.
Who are they, what they wear, how do they look, what they eat, whom they talk to or live with, why they do this or that, what are their precious things, how much money they have or spend, why they choose this or that, what are their secrets, or any other unlimited things about them can become very interesting for us to search.
Kepo, need to know every particular object from other’s life have become common in everyday life.
Unfortunately, this “humanly thing” sometimes expands beyond our mind, when we expose these things in the daily conversations with them, and influence our acts to them.
I think the message wants to tell us again not to have a finger in other people’s pie. Everyone has their own problems and they also have their own rights to grow through their hardship. We do not have any right to add more burdens for their journey to success and happiness, by word or deed. We may see them as imperfect, but we are not flawless, too.
Put a limit in our mind when we think, or in our mouth when we talk, or in our hands when we do everything with other people may become the best thing to keep our life priceless.

The little bird smiled at me, then flew away. I was just wondering, when it will be back again, just to ask,
”Take your limits, and mind your own business...would you?”



Praise the Lord...He limits me to live in His love
