I soooooooo remember that saying... and I guess I am one of those who believe that. I have spent much time working with street people... they are not pretty or clean in the least... but oh what an honour to approach them and have them open up to you and begin to trust you. I come from a family that is all about do's and don'ts... and pointing fingers of judgement... I am the black sheep of my Christian family. LOL
it takes a lot for people like that to trust as they have probably been hurt and let down so many times.
Another old saying, 'When you're pointing the finger at somebody there are three pointing back at you.'
