"oh, great spirit, keep me from ever judging a man until i've walked in his moccasins"

This expression has a good meaning about judging. We should not give any judgment for whatever the judgment is until we have the knowledge or the information about this judgment. As we are students, we should not judge our parents because we don’t have the responsibility that they have. They have jobs and the responsibility of taking care of the house and children. This is so hard a position so we cannot judge their situation until we live in their position and have children and those kinds of responsibilities. Also we should not judge any religion without having any information about this religion. Because another religion might teach nice things and have kind thoughts in this religion that we never thought about.
All over the world there are different cultures that not everybody knows about. For example, in the Middle East and in Italy, men kiss each other while they are shaking their hands. This traditional way of men greeting means taking care of each other, respecting each other and empathizing with each other. But, many people do not understand that custom and they don’t have knowledge of this beautiful habit. They just see it from a bad way. Like in North America people think this is sign of homosexuality. Of course they are wrong. To make a good judgment about what is happening they have to have the knowledge of this cultural first then they give their judgment.
