What’s in Your Wagon?

As we acquire knowledge, we want to share this new found information with our family and peers.  In our excitement we sometimes tend to shove it down their throats before we have complete understanding.  New vegetarians may spew all the negatives of eating meat while they continue to eat meat byproducts or highly preserved foods such as french fries, cheese pizza, and potato chips.  New religious converts may denounce all other religious concepts or spiritual beliefs, believing that only they have the true way.  The outcome of these two examples are usually the same:  People don’t want to hear it, or they hear it and wait for you to do anything contrary to what you’ve preached in order to prove you wrong.  A part of growing is coming to the understanding that if you are not perfect in all ways, you are not in the position to judge anyone in anyway.  And if you are perfect in all ways, there is no need to judge.  Though out life we will encounter many lifestyles, beliefs, and convictions.  As we grow, we learn that we can respect these differences without jeopardizing our beliefs.  My father used to say, “The empty wagon makes the most noise.”  I have been that empty wagon, and have been hit by an empty wagon.  A full load is much better.
