Dare I Ask

"It’s so easy to judge others as being wrong without ever experiencing the problems that led them to do the wrong things that they did."

Who are you to judge me?

Who gave you that right?

Did you appoint yourself capable enough to make unilateral judgments about my character, life, actions and beliefs?

If so, I apologize - You must be God. Or maaaybe you need to observe the state of your own mind.

Although I may not like it, I do not judge you for judging me...

We are all human. We all have an Ego. We are literally programmed to judge.

We live in a self centered society, geared to enhance an already over inflated sense of "self" or "who I am" (i,e- Ego). We want to feel important, to feel safe and secure, so we belittle and judge those who differ from us to do just that. 

Instead of coming from a place of fear, view others with compassion... Put yourself in their shoes, because in reality maybe:

the girl you deem a "slut" has been raped and her self esteem is so shattered that she can't see her worth...

the "idiot" who stays with a cheating partner has been trapped in a cycle of co-dependency, passed on from her own parents and turbulent upbringing... 

the "narcissist" who thinks the world revolves around them, has been shamed for looking different and suffers from severe depression and anxiety, which skews her reality.....

the "weirdo" who talks about energy, etheric realms, astral planes, psychic & paranormal phenomenon has taken the risk to expose themself for who they truly are and what they believe in...

the "flake" who bails on plans, because she is crippled by anxiety and healing from trauma...

Just because you don't understand something does not mean its wrong. 

By judging others you deem yourself perfect, problem-free and better than everyone else. News flash.....NO ONE IS !!! 

If you find yourself not having time to deal with "trivial" problems that inconvenience your self proclaimed "important" life, than maybe it's time to get that ego in check.... 

Next time you catch yourself judging someone, please dare to ask yourself "Who am I to judge"
