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.
