Judgement

We are all guilty of it. When I say all, I mean ALL. A-L-L. I don't think throughout one's life, he/she has not done it before. If he/she hasn't, he/she's not human. They're angels. What is it that all of us are guilty of? It is.. * drum rolls * To judge, to pass judgements, to criticize, make comments, giving their OWN personal opinion. Whatever. Bottomline: to judge. Period.

Why do we do it? Are we better off than the other? If you had answer yes, what makes you think so? What is it that you have that the other person does not? Looks, wealth, health? What? So what if she's fat or she's got bad fashion sense. To her, you probably have bad dressing sense too. Yeah, that girl may be fat. But to her, you may be ugly cause you're too skinny. Who are we to make judgements like that? Yeah, sure. Sometimes we make comments so we can laugh about it. At the other person's expense? How fair is that? I am soOOOoooo guilty of it. Sometimes I'll pass an awful remark so my friends and I can laugh about it. But when you're the laughing stock of someone else, it's really not so funny anymore.

A friend once judged me. We barely knew one another then. I told him don't do that because first, I was hurt. Second, you don't know me well enough to judge! Therefore it's unfair. Then he said, which I will remember for a long time. "You're right. I shouldn't judge. You didn't come this far today to be judged by me." Now when I have the urge to judge somebody, I will remind myself that they didn't come this far to be judged by me.

This is just a random thought. :) Like they always say, if you have nothing good to say, don't say. What someone else lacks, they make up for it in some other ways. In some ways, we are all made equal.
