EMOTIONS : being human

The passing of my Uncle Moe yesterday, has brought forth many buried emotions. Death of loved ones always leads to 'revelations'.Of course, they are not really 'revelations',simply recognition /acknowledgement of our humanness.Everyone engages in  various behavior, actions,and communication styles, at different times and in different situations. .. Therefore , the 'opinion' of others must be measured with time and observation. I feel that being too quick to judge another can lead to misguided assumptions.Experience has taught me to keep open - minded and willing to try to understand others emotional selves.Often, people can and do change. Or , with  time, we can better see the whole picture.Forgiveness and understanding are significant. Yes, there are some people whom refuse to be open and compassionate. Some people remain deeply grounded in there stance and attitude, regardless, of any obvious need to change. Life as we know it is finite. Hearts need to be kept open, so one can feel .and sense, all that is human.  Death reflects the significance of being alive.Living must occur in spite of the reality of death. These are my thoughts today. -o-o-
