April 29: Writing Prompt #119-Cringe-Worthy

Do you feel uncomfortable when you see someone else being embarrassed? What’s most likely to make you squirm?
  Yes, most definitely!! The most likely to make me squirm is when someone is either being degraded, treated unfairly, or generally criticized right in front of me OR WORSE with me as a witness who was asked to be there. Unfortunately, I have been subjected to this unknowingly, and while listening in quiet shock, I left the room and sobbed uncontrollably to those I felt comfortable with afterwards. There’s no reason, in my opinion, to ever treat anyone so poorly to the point that those in earshot would feel embarrassed over what the person being degraded had to endure OR to the point of making them cry and go home in worry and pain.  In fact, even in private, we shouldn’t treat each other that way.  That’s really all I have to say about that…
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 7:12

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you….” Matthew 7:1-2
