Judging Harshly

Humans tend to judge harshly. Every one of us may call it differently, but we either judge or categorize each other by their appearance. A first impression may be important, although believing that through a person’s appearance we may decide who he is or how he should be. Terrible wars have happen by the fact that people either generalize a conduct or ideology to a group of people, or consider somebody something by their look. Some may consider these actions as fascist; I share that point of view. We shall mimic Gods decision of, "the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart." -Sam. 1 16.7.
During many wars nationals have to serve their country. The ideology for which they are fighting is irrelevant when choosing who goes to war. I read a autobiography of Nicolas Mosley “Time At War” were he describes all of his experiences in the second world war (he is British), although you can resume the book with a phrase: “The war wasn’t necessary, the only ones who were going win something, were the Americans and Russians.” We will never know if those who fought next to Saul and David against the Philistines shared the idea for which they fought (God in this case).
