Judgmental!


You know what`s the most annoying thing about us humans? It`s that we ALWAYS judge. We judge everyone; every action they do and every word they say! And it`s not like we know them that well or we ask to know their point of view, no, we just judge them.

We see someone who looks differently, or speak in an unfamiliar way, we start to say “Oh he`s not a good person, don`t listen to him” we see a girl that dresses differently, we say “Oh no, she`s a ho!” we see a student that wears glasses and has a high grades we say “LOSER!”, and it never ends!

But! What if they`re not? What if being different doesn’t mean bad, what if those people have really good hearts?  One thing that I learned from studying philosophy is that nobody knows everything , everyone sees life according to his own experiences and everyone has reasons to do what he does; so as long as we don`t know them, we can`t judge!

I made a deal with myself few days ago to stop judging without really knowing; It`s very hard but it feels great! And in the middle of all the political issues that we now have in Egypt, I started not to attack, but to defend everyone! I started to look for goodness in everyone and to assume that the other person is good unless he proves not to be; and I have never been in peace with myself like this before J

Seriously, the worst feeling ever is to be oppressed, so stop jumping to conclusions and put yourself in other's shoes; it`s not how a person looks that defines who he is and whether he`s good or bad, it`s what`s deep inside of him; so take your time to know that person, or you may miss knowing some great people J and instead of looking for flaws in other people, it`s time to look at the mirror and judge yourself J

Just remember, if God wanted us all to be the same and look the same, we would be; but there is wisdom behind our differences and our disagreements.
