Why are some of us always willing to help others <br />while some of us are <br />more concerned with themselves? <br /> <br />Why are some of us always ready to answer the call <br />when called upon while others are more concerned <br />with the time it would take away from their own lives? <br /> <br />Why are some of us never judgemental while some of us <br />only judge and condemn? <br /> <br />Some of us know the answer and follow the right path <br />because once a long time ago we were asked a question <br />by our Father. <br />He looked at each of us and asked all of us, <br /> 'After all, what are we Barbarians? ' <br /> <br />Some of us understood the question right away <br />and our answer was simple as we replied, 'No we are not' <br /> <br />While some of us struggled with the answer and picked apart the question and tried to reply with a more complex answer to justify our <br />reasoning <br /> <br />And some of us still struggle with the answer today<br /><br />Stephanie J.
