Yes I do. I was making reference to what you said in the post, I should have included the comment, sorry.
If you are "Not young enough to know everything" Then your statements were oxymoronic, because you should be old enough to know better than what you said.
Thanks for your response, itsahoot. I know we all do some judging of people based on their appearance. I've been guilty of it myself, and have paid for it in the past. I have misjudged people because of how they "looked", and it is a mistake I do not wish to repeat.
Sadly, I do believe that it has come to this. That people, such as yourself, now think it is "oxymoronic" to believe that it IS what is on the inside of a person's heart, mind and soul, that is more important than what is on the "outside".
Forget about the tattoos and piercings. Those are just the "visual aids" that enable someone to be unjust in their judgement of someone. I'm reminded of an old man who lived not far from our home. He rode his bicycle every day to town and back, he appeared unkempt, and I know some local kids taunted him, and parents whispered behind his back. I often wondered about that man. I'd smile and wave whenever I passed him, and he'd just nod his head. Well, he died a few years ago and sadly, I learned more about that man after he died than when he was alive.
It turns out this man was brilliant! He was kind, loving, and well respected by those who were blessed to know him. Now, I don't know if he had a tattoo or not, so maybe some of his friends (if like those here) may not have accepted him as a friend if they had known THAT.
