In some ways it could be true but mostly, it is dangerous not to do it.
This afternoon, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012 ... an old Caprice Car went pass us. Immediately I noticed the familiar two young men, black skinned, car has tinted glasses, plate number is faded.
My instincts told me, "stay away from that car"
This was after I made a judgment based on reports. The reports that always come are: "Two young men, black skinned, riding a motorcycle, or an old car, bearing a plate number you can't recognize" was the one who stole a laptop or a mobile phone somewhere in Riyadh.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe the black young men who were riding this car who passed us were not the same young men who steal cars, laptops and mobile phones. But then again, maybe I am right and so I must be ready.
We do this all the time in driving, we have to JUDGE all the cars and persons around us as potential causes of accidents in order to avoid being part of an accident. This is called DEFENSIVE DRIVING.
We have to do this in life. Not to be suspicious or malicious and judgmental but be cautious of all men, knowing that they are but sinful men.
The Lord himself did this: Joh_2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
And Jeremiah warned us of the hearts of men, even our own hearts: Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
