I find it sad how people feel the need to judge eachother.
If a woman such as myself writes to inmates then she must be "desperate" or "mentally ill" in one way or another. But what about the men who write to female inmates and even male inmates?
Just because we write to inmates we alone are being judge for who we are. The world and society is not a court room, but then I can be wrong about that. What gives others the right to say such nasty things about others?
Yes the men and women who have been locked away from society have been for a reason. Because they had a blackened heart? Maybe even acted in self defence? Maybe they needed to find a way to make ends meet by dealing drugs? Maybe what they had done was an accident? Or they got locked up for taking a simple phone call?
We all make mistakes, but it doesn't give others the right to judge us once we've been judged. The thing is we all have a little bit of darkness in our hearts, but behind that dark ess is a little bit of light, and sometimes it takes a VERY very very bad situation to make someone want to find that light they were never able to find. Maybe that light is a simple a letter? Or a new found friendship? I don't know......
I am very emotional right now. I just wish that everyone could just open their eyes and maybe just see what I see in others.
A bad person can turn into a good person. All it takes is that little bit of positivity that someone else can give.
