Leviticus 19:15
“Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly.”
I will be hypocrite when I say, I do not have favorites... I have my favorites. I have my favorite cologne, favorite dress, favorite person on earth even favorite class. I have things and people that I look after more than others. But I try not to show the people around me that I favor them more than others, or I try not to show people that I like them least than the rest. In that manner, I admit I am hypocrite.
I am not justifying my hypocrisy by my intentions to hide my favor to others. But if it is the only way that people would prove that I do not favor others more than others then I would choose to be a hypocrite than hurt other people by showing my favor to others and my dislike to others.
One thing that makes me confuse, is at times when I see people favoring others more than others. I ask myself a question: is that being a christian? Is that showing equality? Is that being just? When I see people in authority showing great favor to other people, I ask myself again another question: is it ethical? Is that being professional? is that being mature?
In this world full of injustice and favoritism, do I have to fold my arms and accept everything? Do I just close my eyes and make myself think as if nothing is wrong? I know I am just an ordinary person, belonging to the minority, to a humble Filipino race, but I have a JUST GOD who sees everything and everyone equally. He knows what we are all capable of, He knows what we are as a worker, as a friend, a family member, and as a person.
