#judge

My job, I think, is the hardest job out of all the judges because I am the only one that is a performer. ↗

Part of the problem about authenticity is that virtues aren't the only things that are habit forming: the more someone behaves in a way that is damaging to self or to others, the more "natural" it will both seem and actually be.

At the Day of Judgement we shall not be asked what we have read but what we have done. ↗

Sometimes your light shines so bright that it blinds people from seeing who you really are. ↗
