We think we know each other well
And in some ways we do
But oh the world we do not know
The core of me and you
Were I to tell your story
The journey of your life
I wouldn’t know the half of it
Your trouble and your strife
The outside observation
Can tell a tale or two
But the story of your soul
Is known only to you
The emotional mental journey
That you have lived till now
That’s a private story
Of who and what and how
Let’s give each other credit
For things we cannot see
And let kind consideration
Be shared by you and me

+ The story of Jesus in his home town of Nazareth opens up for us the biases that we all have about one another, how much we will accept and how much we will too easily criticise: how much we think we know about one another and how little we really know.
