Double Meanings = Double Standards

So honestly why this title? No idea but double standards and meanings have been in my mind lately. I know sounds totally random and one there’s nothing to do with another but still…
I was chatting with a friend — let’s put it this way for argument sake. And he asked me “What the fuck is wrong with that dude’s leg?” while we were going to my doctor’s appointment. At first I had now idea what he was talking about but then I got to look at the boy’s legs and they were in fact really red-ish and with what looked as blisters. I didn’t flinch or anything, honestly I didn’t even feel sorry for him because I know that’s not what people with skin issues want. I just looked and shrugged, my friend poked me and asked what I thought of that and I just simply said “There’s a reason why he’s that way, pointing out his wrongs isn’t helping anyone so let’s just go…” and we did.
When we got to the elevator guess who comes in with us? Why yes, the boy and his mom. And guess what? He was really nice to us both, held out the door and ironically enough he was going to the exact same place as we were. I’m not gonna lie I didn’t hear the story on what happened to the boy b ecause I was in the booth sooner than a snap of fingers but later on while I was driving around downtown Sao Paulo my friend told me the boy had an allergic reaction to some medicine and was here to see if he could continue his treatment (in phototeraphy, like I do)…so see, thre’s always a double standard on people that have something different, not really a flaw but something they can’t help it. And even if most of us say “I never judge others” we know it’s a lie. I judge too, maybe I’ judging now but still my friend has his own personal flaw and I guess he understood that the boy didn’t have any saying in what was going on so he never said anything back.
That’s what people should learn, if you judge make sure you do it thoroughly and reach a final decision on what or who you’re judging because when we don’t do it for real we end up with double standards. I don’t know if I made my point clear on why I think double meanings end up in double standards but still…I don’t have to justify myself and you’re very welcome to judge me anytime you want. Just make sure you reach a veridict.

Ignorance is bliss
You’d always hear me say
But at times you can’t deny
Those eyes looking your way

Let me begin by saying what I mean
It’s a crime against the heart you know
To be somewhere in between

Well don’t be shy
I’ve got an open heart and hand
And I just might have to confess just where I stand
