Do We Judge Fairly?

Do We Judge Fairly?

Lifeā€™s unfairā€¦maybe?
But life is us, we dictate how fair life is ...donā€™t we?
Do we really act with discretion?
Balancing what we know and donā€™t know?
Or are we too ready to listen to just one side and ā€˜assumeā€™
that what we were told was the 'truth'?
The real truth?
Or is it just that persons truth?ā€¦
There is a differenceā€¦ā€¦
One isĀ  always told that to ā€˜Assumeā€™ actually
makes an ā€˜assā€™ out of ā€˜uā€™ and ā€˜meā€™
and often this is true...
Am I dealing with ā€˜Assesā€™?
Any silence on my part will often mean I have
no wish to reveal the genuine truth-
A truth that will forever change the hearers perception
Ā of who fed them the lies.
A kindness on my part offering
an undeserved refuge for theĀ  ā€˜victimā€™
Shame on the ā€˜Assesā€™ ...
weakness truly isĀ your only virtue
If in doubtā€¦ask
ā€˜Asses are made to bearā€™ so sayeth the Bard,
and these particular Asses will bear the knowledge that
they are the pawns in a very clever, but obvious game.

This is true. But when a pawn reaches the final rank...it can become anything it wants ... even a Queen!!
