Not Understood...

Not Understood. We gather false impressions.
And hug them closer as the years go by.

Not understood. Poor souls with stunted vision
Oft measure giants by their narrow gauge.

Not understood. How trifles often change us.
The thoughtless sentence or the fancied slight
Destroys long years of friendship, and estrange us,
And on our souls there falls a freezing blight:
Not understood. Not understood.

O God, that men would see a little clearer,
Or judge less harshly where they cannot see!

What a great quote with a Powerful message!!!

There are so many reason not to judge our fellow men, apart even from the Lord's Commandments. A significant one is that usually we do not have all the facts on which to base judgement. We just do not understand. This quote was give by Thomas Bracken in prelude to this last comment. :) What a powerful message.
