She is a single mother, is not a way to introduce your friend.
She is 30 and still single, is not a way to talk about someone you know.
He is a school drop out, is not a way to talk about someone you know.
If your parents were rich, you won't be here to be my housemaid, so I will treat you the way I like, is not how to treat that innocent child under your care who is just a victim of parental negligence or misfortune.
This my friend sitting here is a rape victim, this is not away to talk about rape victims or make them speak. Until they are ready to talk, until then, let them be.
Her children are badly behaved, is not a way to talk about a mother, you know nothing about a mother's struggle.
He is a lazy man, is not a way to address that man because life's challenges makes a hard working man seem like his efforts are never enough.
If you do not have something nice to say about someone, say nothing.
If you do not know how to introduce a friend without being condescending, then let them be.
If you do not have the kind heart to raise someone else child without being cruel to them because they have no choice and have to see you as their God. Leave them with their parents. They will be fine. They will get by, surely they will.
If you cannot help that young man to get a job or start something meaningful, then stop describing him as a lazy youth.
If you cannot talk about that woman without introducing her as a widow, or a single mother, then let her be.
Do not use people's struggle to introduce them. That is not a compliment or from a place of care.
It only shows how insensitive you are or simply out of tune you are with humanity.
You see? Life is deep. Never mock a pain you have never felt.
Never.
