judge us by the standard of two hundred years

fiction
Edward w Pritchard




Is one type of entertainment more elevated than another? Does ballet and opera occupy a higher plane than square dancing or Rhythm and Blues music? Are Shakespeare's plays more genuine than " Twilight Zone" by Rod Sterling?

How about religion or lack there of? Is Zionism and Torah more intellectually elevated  than Country Gospel Music's lyrics and insights?

What famous personage hasn't had their detractors, what Saint hasn't been besmirched with criticism by those who knew him intimately? Doesn't Jesus say " a Prophet isn't appreciated in his own Country"?

Everyone judges things higher and more sacrosanct that they bless personally.

Judge me not lacking if you know not what I think and do because I am unknown and unheralded by  contemporary society.

 Instead judge us all by the standards of two hundred years. View any life a success in which one has lived quietly and died with dignity.

All personages are unique and equally valuable. Renown or unheralded all of us have had a successful life and shouldn't be compared or have our reputation compromised because we do not measure up to the imaginary standards contemporary society places on everyone living or dead.

Judged by the standards of two hundred years all lives are brief and end in final death and oblivion. Find a philosophy based on kindness, toleration and acceptance of the uniqueness and valuableness of all people renown or unheralded that you can practice in the brief time you are allotted to spend as part of contemporary society.
