“Oh my gosh, she looks like she hasn’t gotten her nails done in 3 weeks. How disgusting.” I’ve always wondered what the purpose of this was -- judging. Now I’m not going to act like I’m some angel. Obviously I’m human and I’ve questioned what would lead people to the decisions they made, but that really shouldn’t concern me or anyone else as a matter of fact.

Why does it matter what someone wears? Where someone works? Who someone dates? What their interests/hobbies are? Who they hang out with? What kind of music they listen to? What sports they play? What their background is? And most importantly, if they shave their legs daily or not? What do all those things matter for? We live in such a judgmental society now where people would rather rip each other apart rather than support one another; honestly, it’s just sad at this point.

One thing I have learned from this whole “judging people" idea is that no good comes out of it. Why would you want to hurt someone because what they’re wearing isn’t of the same taste as yours? It makes no sense. Or, because one person lost their friendship with one of your friends it suddenly makes them a bad person? They say “Don’t judge a book by its cover," but that’s exactly what people choose to do and I just can’t come up with a reason as to why that’s okay.

Would you have chosen to be in a relationship with someone if you took the time to look at all their flaws? I don’t know about you, but personally, I find flaws to be what make people unique and what separates them from others. I believe that if we started falling in love with people for what they cannot control, it would make us have a less harsh society.

People are afraid to join sports teams because of the fear of being judged. They think they won’t be good enough for their teammates. We choose our clothing based on what’s “in." If you’re wearing a scarf covering your head, it must mean you’re a terrorist. If you’re a female that loves baseball, basketball and hockey, well then obviously you’re one of the guys and must be into other women. If you’re a male going to see the movie “Me Before You," clearly you’re a softy. Guess what though -- those accusations are not always necessarily true. Why does doing certain actions in this generation automatically lead to assumptions. Just let people live. Let others do as they please. Get to know one another. Radiate love, good vibes and just be kind to one another. It’s not that hard, I promise. You will not only begin to accept others for who they are, but you’ll love yourself even more.
