Why So Judgmental?

There's no point in it really.

I am definitely not a judgmental person. It really gets to me when people are so judgmental of others. I don’t see the point of it really. Each person is going through something you know nothing about, and being kind is really the only answer that I see fit.

There are so many instances where people make such awful comments about how someone looks. Someone walks by who has blue hair or something, some tattoos, or dresses differently than the average person. I hate seeing all of the glaring looks and whispers about how much of a “freak” they are. I’m not placing any judgment here, but maybe the person saying those things is the “freak.”

Why does it matter what people look like? If that person is being their own person and living the life that makes them happy, does it really matter that they look different from you? (I’ll give you a hint, the answer is NO!)

I’ve come into contact with a lot of people during my short life so far. Nice people, mean people, outgoing people, shy people, religious people, non-religious people, democrat, republican, and more. No one person is exactly alike – we all have different lives and have done nothing in our lives to deserve judgment.

I don’t know about you, and I am NOT trying to start anything, but the people who I have observed being the most judgmental are those who claim to be very religious and doing God’s work. I love many people who believe in God, they are wonderful parts of my life, and I am not talking about them in this instance. What I am talking about is all of the hate and judgment from religion. I know there is also a lot of love and care, but it is hard to get past the huge amount of judgment towards people who are homosexual, or don’t believe in God, or anything else that differs really.

I’m not saying that this is true for ALL people whatsoever. There are good and bad people who belong to every group. I just want to spread love, not hate. Being around judgmental people is one of the worst things and I have a very hard time getting through it.

The bottom line is to just be a kind person. Each person is going through something that you know nothing about. That person who is walking down the street with blue hair might have dyed their hair blue because it was their mother’s favorite color, and she recently passed away. Instead of judging, embrace our differences because we are ALL different. Period.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
