Growing up, we are often told not to judge people based on their appearance, background, or circumstances. However, it can be easy to fall into the trap of assuming the worst about someone, especially when we don’t understand the reasons behind their actions.
The story of Candy and Kannie and their mother’s advice is a powerful reminder that we should not judge the parents of troubled children too harshly. As their mother explains, it is likely that these parents had a similar upbringing themselves, and may not know any other way of raising their children.
It’s important to remember that everyone has a story, and we never know the struggles that someone else may be facing. Instead of jumping to conclusions or making assumptions, we should try to approach situations with empathy and understanding.
Of course, if we do have reason to believe that a child is being mistreated or abused, it is important to speak up and seek guidance from a trusted adult. But until we have proof positive of such mistreatment, we should try to withhold judgment and extend kindness to those around us.
The world can be a difficult place, but by following the advice of Candy and Kannie’s mother, we can all do our part to make it a little bit kinder and more understanding.
