Throwing stones

It's painful to watch.

Hurts to listen to.

Troubling to read.

Smooth gray pebbles of verdicts. 

Crumbly mud balls filled with disdain.

Jagged caustic boulders thrown...

hurled...

tossed.....

targeted...

at her. 

There are many sides, perspectives, and truths to the Fantasia Barrino situation, facets that are unknown to most. But the lack of complete knowledge hasn't stopped people from making absolute judgments and statements about everything involving her.  

Her lack of morals.

Her talent.

Her beauty. 

Herself. 

It's so easy for us to gather up stones to punish someone who has, publicly or privately, fallen short. 

But the truth is we all have. 

Leave the rocks on the ground where they belong.
