Hard to Understand . . .

Has anyone else found that the more orthodox the person, the more judgemental they can be? We are dealing with a situation in our family for the last couple of years and it is very disheartening that so much hurt can be dealt by people claiming to be spiritual and good. The Pharisee and the tax payer parable seems to come to mind a lot these days. You have to wonder how hard it is to be sensitive to others? Going a bit out of one's way is the way to Heaven. Guess a lot of people want their comforts on earth and heck with the people they either work with or go to school with. I always thought (actually hoped!) that such behavior will diminish with the onset of age and maturity. Doesn't seem to be happening.
