ThoughtsfromtheRev’dJohnTaylor

No-one likes to be judged. To be judged by others makes us feelvulnerable and uncomfortable. CriFcism can be both posiFve andnegaFve.ItcanbeconstrucFvewhenintendedforgood,asasFmulustoimprovement.HoweveritcantooofenbenegaFveanddestrucFve,andintendedtohurt.

A certainMr Davidson, Housemaster at Harrowwrote the followingreportonapupil,possiblyintendedtoprovokeaposiFvereacFon.

‘He is forgehul, careless, unpunctual, irregular in every way. If he isunabletoconquerhisslovenliness,hewillnevermakeasuccess.’

Thatreportwaswri^enforoneWinstonChurchill!Itisofcourseeasytoput labels onothers, to pigeon-hole them.Having ‘summed themup’wecanthendismissthem. Wecanalsostereotypepeople,whichcanthenblindustothewholeperson.

ThereisastoryabouttheGreekphilosopherSocrateswho,onedayashewassikngbytheroadsidewasapproachedbyatravellerheadingtowardsAthens.Thetravelleraskedhim, ‘Whatsortofpeople live inAthens?’

Socratesaskedhim,‘Whatsortofpeopleliveinyourtown?

‘Awful,’saidtheother.‘Theyarelyinglayabouts.’

TowhichSocrates replied, ’I’msorry to tellyouthatyouwillfindthepeopleofAthenstobejustthesame.’

Shortly aferwards another traveller came by, who asked the samequesFon.‘WhataretheAthenianslike?’

AgainSocratesasked,‘Whatsortofpeopleliveinyourtown?’

‘Kind,friendly,generoustoo,’cametheanswer.

Socratessmiledandsaid,‘IampleasedtotellyouthatyouwillfindthepeopleofAthenstobejustthesame.’

SomeFmeswe project on to otherswhatwe don’t like in ourselves.I’msurewe’reallfamiliarwiththeexpression‘thepotcallingtheke^leblack’.Anexpressionthatcomes,itseems,fromthemedievalkitchenwherethecast-ironpotthatisusedforcookingoverthefirebecomesblackwithsoot. Oneday,whenit looksattheshinypolishedcopperke^le, it sees its ownblackness in the reflecFon and calls the ke^leblack.Itisblindtoitsownimage.

This iswhat Jesus condemns in his teaching. Using exaggeraFon tomakehispoint,hesayswearesokeentolookforthespeckofdirtinourneighbour’seyewefailtoseetheloginourown.Sowhatarewetodo?PerhapsweshouldnotethesewordsofJesus.

‘Donot judgeoryoutoowillbe judged.For in thesamewayasyoujudgeothers,youwillbejudged.’

AndinGod’skingdom,howwouldwewishtobejudged?

Withbestwishes
