Quote

Never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes. Not only have I not walked a mile in another persons shoes, I have never even put one of their shoes on. Each one of us is the the only one to experience our lives from start to now. We really shouldn't judge what we don't know.
My personal belief
