I sometimes find myself, rather unintentionally though no less rightly, placing people into “categories” based on my perception of their character and the moral value they display.
I find myself looking on them with pity and regret wishing they were more like me, less like themselves and more willing to be moral, to be less apathetic to be more considerate and kind, to have clean speech and unselfish motive.
I have prayed to be set apart from the people I feel aren’t living a righteous life, as if who they are in some way infringes upon my ability to be the best me I can be. And yet I am no better and no worse than anyone.
