Stop Being So Damn Judgmental.

Watch “The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills” for a half a second and you’ll either immediately feel better about yourself or more in tune with people like you.

If it’s the latter, I’m sorry…you’ll need to move on from this post.

Judgement usually stems from insecurity. Insecurity of those unlike us, from those we’re jealous of, or even from being uneducated. Insecurity leads to fear and judgements are innately formed.

So other than our own insecure, fearful uneducated minds, is there really any reason to judge another human being?

We all came into and are leaving this world the exact same: with nothing. So what makes you any different from someone you’re judging? Absolutely nothing.

You can blame judgmental tendencies on your upbringing or environment. But you have your own mind, right?

You have the ability to speak, read, and form your own opinions? Good. Stop making excuses.

Will you simply not like some people you meet? Of course. That’s totally normal…it’d be crazy to get along with everyone.

But that’s a matter of personality, not the reasons we seem to find to judge others.

So let’s stop spreading judgmental tendencies to our children and those around us.

How about we actually get to know someone of a different race, religion, sexual orientation or financial background? Who knows…you might actually learn something. And I can guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
