I don't think Tauranga MP Sam Uffindell should resign. I think he should be able to focus on his life, family, career and aspirations now. I think we all should be able to do the same.

All of us have a past. There is not one person among all of humanity who can claim that they have not said or done something that has caused suffering to another.

Of course, we all think other people's wrongs are more wrong than ours. And we tend to pull people down rather than think the best, let people be who they now are and set them free from the prison of our moral judgment.

The Pharisees in the time of Jesus wanted to stone a woman caught committing adultery. What did Jesus say? 'The person without sin, let that person throw the first stone”.

How many stones were thrown that day? None.
