understanding, I’m not saying that in a literal sense.  As you have stated, I don’t need to do drugs to know that they are wrong and bad.  I do believe it is possible to walk in someone’s shoes simply by trying to empathize with them for a moment, by trying to figure out what life circumstances drove them to where they are and caused them to make the decisions they did.  All to often, we pass judgment on people without ever actually trying to understand them.  In doing so we miss prime opportunities to reach out to people in need because we view them as losers, as street trash, as scum to be avoided at all costs, rather than trying to take the time to actually talk to them, to understand them, to reach out to them.  Again, empathy is, I think, the key here.I completely agree that it is not our business to judge someone’s heart.  That is not our place, only God’s, to do so.  That was what I was trying to communicate in the article.  Interesting that you read it the way you did.  :)
