I am so tired of people telling me what to do!  C'mon people, live your own life and leave me alone. I mean, don't you have better things to do than to live the life of another?  My family has yelled at me.  my friends have yelled at me.

If there is ONE person out there that has a perfect life, even they don't have the right to tell me what to do.  it's like I'm in high school again and I have to be careful what I say or do or others will be offended by my words/actions.

Get over yourself!

"Judge not less thee be judged"

I've been reading a lot of signs on facebook.  Most of them are about how one should judge themselves first before judging other people.  Or like the bible says, "Judge not less thee be judged." It's a very interesting quote and what what it more interesting, to me at least, is that I don't think that anyone can go thru life not judging.

I mean, really think about it.  you go to the bodega and you see the guy behind the counter.  He has a serious face so you know that he is not one to talk to and joke around with.  Your judging him has made you come to that conclusion.

You see a woman walking in the street and she has her make-up all wrong for her face, if you are a woman you think what an idiot, she don't know how to fix herself up.  If you are a man, you might think that she looks like a whore.  Either way, judgement is being brought upon her.

I think that people are naturally judgmental and the outcome solely is determined by the way that individual was raised.  What one person may think is right, the other will think it's wrong.  I judge people naturally.  I try to look for the good positive outlooks in a person and focus on their inner beauty but sometimes, I see something that I just don't like and I judge on it.

It provides me with a guide on how to live my life.  On how to know which people I want to associate myself with and which people are just bad for me.  THAT'S mission impossible.  To go thru life not judging people.

I noticed this the other day.  Even tho it is very hard to admit it, the racists and other bullies have every right to speak their minds.  We don't have to like it but we judge them for their opinions.  It's the ignorance that has been forced into them by someone important in their lives and it becomes their guides.

It's unfortunate that a gay basher has the right to make fun or poke at the gay community just like an African American has the right to poke at Whitey.  These are all judgments one makes but at what point does it matter to stop?

As I watch the shows cops or bait car, I see that young African American men and boys are the ones that are doing the crime.  Should I overlook that they are black and give them the benefit of the doubt? Should I put aside that 98% of them are sagging and that's another reason they probably get profiled?

They get caught and complain that they have been profiled.  Hello?  Is anyone home?  You fit the profile and did the crime, what more do you want?  It's just another way of being judged. It's all very simple.

You cannot live in this world without be judgmental.  It's just the way of life.  Some use it as a defense mechanism, others use it as a deterrent to focus on others and not them and some use it as a guide for life.  So, even tho I agree with the bible, "Judge not less thee be judged" theory, there is no other alternative than to do it naturally.  God Bless All.
