Nearly all of us judge others, including me.I am working very hard to get rid of this habit.We all judge others based on their appearance, religion, whether they are gay,lesbian or straight, people with money and power are revered and looked up to.Do you know what they are from inside? They are people like us, they too feel sadness and pain, I do become upset if someone judges me, but now, I am accepting the fact that just because someone does’nt like me, it is their business, not mine.Why spend hours thinking about them in a negative way,do not give anyone power over you! I choose to love myself with flaws and all! After all, no one is perfect.Perfection is a mere illusion, it doesn’t exist.Being jealous and envious of others damages you, not the other person! There will always be people who are better than us in some ways.Rejoice in the fact that you are unique and absolutely worth it. Of course serial killers, murderers, etc, are not included- Lol! I hope to hear from you, what are your thoughts on this matter! Take care, God bless you all!








































Excellent post.Before judging the other people should stand before a mirror and judge what they see.Regards.jalal
Thank you for identifying with me!
You’re right, we are all unique; there is no other person the same, and that’s what makes each one of us so special.
Live and let live – that’s my motto.
Great post.

Sure I will read your blog!
It really is a bad habit … and we all suffer from it!! Thanks for the great post reminder!
Yes! It really is!
Very positive thoughts… thank you
Thank you!
I think it’s possible that judging is a human thing. After all, if we didn’t judge, we wouldn’t discern – is that plant edible? Poisonous? Those are helpful examples. Judging other people might help us avert a dangerous situation – but, as most people aren’t dangerous but the mind needs something to do – it judges others unnecessarily. I, too, have been guilty of this. And at almost sixty, I’m really getting past it. So I think it just takes time – more for some, less for others.
I agree with your thoughts, I was merely talking about generally judging people!
Understood! It’s been a lifelong issue for me, so I had to rationalize it so I wasn’t too harsh with myself!
Take care, I am glad you made it!
I to am guilty of judging others and I’m working hard to rid the bad habit . Some times its not intentional and I think it’s just a reaction to someone different . So when I find myself judging I ask my self the question what if that was me? I then shift my thoughts to something positive. Great post. I enjoy reading your blogs. Thanks!
Very true! Exactly my thoughts!
If you are up for it, permit me to say rejoicing over one’s uniqueness is permitted, or not, not only in the context of murderers, etc. If murderers are not to rejoice, should drug-dealers do? Should drug-users do? Should petty thieves do? Should school bullies do? How far down do we go?
My point: I don’t think it’s that final label that forms the cause for rejoicing. After all, murderers are also humans like us on the inside. This doesn’t excuse the ACT/wrong, but it means the murderer can rejoice in his/her ability/hope towards repentance, etc. He/She is still a different human being. The CHOICE he/she made may indeed justify or condemn him/her. But he/she is still a unique individual inside.
Yes, every one is unique, but rejoicing in killing someone doesn’t make that person good, if they repent then of course I forgive them!
Aging mellows out the judgements – at least somewhat. I admit to judging. But I mean really…pierced tongues and noses? Makes me sneeze just to think of it.

Well, yes, give or take a few!
Great post! Lots of important insights. Thanks!
My pleasure!
I agree, no one is better than anyone else. No one is perfect. And we all have flaws involving how we treat others at some point in our lives. We are not all cut of the same cloth. Nor do we all agree on the same things. There is a delicate way to state things, and a brunt way to state things. Sometimes we don’t have the calm within us to differentiate between the two ways and we say things to quickly.
Very true what you said!
This is thought provoking.
Yes!
