I've had just enough time to... look at things from both sides now.
Taken in the same small street in Jakarta.
"Look at the man. How lazy. Papa told me many men are like that.
Never do well because no put in effort. Sleeping all the time. Not working.
Lazy. Always poor."
"Oh, car horn. Calling. Must go. When I grow up. Papa said
don’t be like that."
(please read part I)
Tears and fears and feeling proud to say "i love
you" right out loud,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
Dreams and schemes and circus crowds, i've looked at life that way.
But now old friends are acting strange,
they shake their heads, they say I've changed.
Something's lost but something's gained in living every day.
I've looked at life from both sides now,
From win and lose, and still somehow
It's life's illusions i recall.
I really don't know life at all.
Joni Mitchell - Both Sides Now
Life can be so unfair at times. And to rub it in, to be so misunderstood. This story is for all the underdogs who struggle to do their best in Life to eke out an existence but are misunderstood. The pain of injustice cuts deep. Especially if dealt by an innocent who does not understand because they can can never understand, living in a separate world.

Yes --we must not judge .
" There but for the grace of God go I " -- suits this image .
There but for the grace of God goes John Bradford” is included as an attributed quote in many books of quotations. (It’s sometimes given as “But for the grace of God there goes John Bradford”).16th century .
The usual explanation of the quote’s meaning is that Bradford was expressing sympathy for the soon-to-be-executed criminal (or criminals) and suggesting that, except for God’s mercy, he might be sharing the same fate.
Beautiful evocative capture . Asks many questions about life . well done .
