At What Cost ?

Are We Judgemental.................

At What Cost ?
uptownmagazine.com

We live in a world that whatever you do is under a microscope. One of my favorite sayings is "Never let your good deeds be evil spoken of", but in today's time that seems impossible. People are so quick to assume before asking what's really going , or how will it benefit the greater good. Recently Chrisette Michelle was one of many celebrities to come under fire for her decision to perform at the inaugural ball of Donald Trump. She was quoted saying "If we're artists, if we're supposed to be the people who shake the world with our art, then we've got to stand on stages where we're uncomfortable, and tell our truth," Michele said. At first I gave her the side eye for her decision to perform at this event, this put me in the same judgmental boat as the rest of the world. What most people don't understand your non verbals make more noise than your verbals. So while many people including myself did not watch the coverage of the inaugural ball , Chrisette made a bold statement with her outfit. Her skirt depicted what is going on in America from the black lives matter movement to African-Americans being lynched, she was trying to represent the population of African-Americans she wants to be the voice. Even though she didn't get a chance to speak to the president she spoke to the masses millions of people saw her statement. She's not the only celebrity to come under fire for talking or meeting with Donald Trump but since he's our president we have to work with what we have. We as human need understand that we can't persecute people for making the decisions that they want to make. If we took into account the decisions that we make , and how it would effect others I think we will be less judgmental towards other people. We can't go off of what other people feel ,believe ,or think because it may be bias without questioning their motives. We need to start first thinking for ourselves and secondly don't be so quick to jump to judgment because of others opinions.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
