Have you noticed in your past experience that your kind interpretations were almost always truer than you harsh one?
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have suffered from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if I had been understood.
My emotions lose their force when I endeavor to interpret them, and my words seem very inept.
I wonder how often in the past I may have missed the good in people because I pre-judged, based on the differences?
But rarely have I made choices that made me feel I was really compromising what I believe.
I experienced the judgement of a lot of people - and deservedly so.
I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
In the past, I've tried to show the human side of people involved in stigmatised or misunderstood lifestyles. I've tried to resist easy judgments and not pander to prejudices.
Since I was a very small child, I've had a kind of reverence for the past, and I felt a very intimate connection with it.
I don't like being told someone's interpretation of something that I do.
I never felt interpretation was my job.
