Recently I've found out that people can be judgemental. We all are, even if we say we aren't. We'll judge the hijabi down the street if she's doing something she shouldn't be or wearing something she shouldn't be, without knowing her story. We'll judge the married couple sitting on the bus having an argument, making our own assumptions to who is really wrong.. When again, we don't know the story. I guess it's our nature, somewhere in our biological make-up that makes us think and "assume" things instantly when we see something.
The saddest part is that when we tell people after they've told us something "secretive" about themselves that we don't judge them.. We just start this whole lying process. We then move on to passing a comment to someone somewhere about said persons "secret".. Thereby judging them by telling the person you are speaking to what you actually think. Pretty gross I think. If you're going to say or think something awful about a person what better place to do it than in front of them?
Having assumptions and being judgemental I think are the two most (along with hypocrisy and arrogance) awful human qualities out there. I mean, really, who cares what Tom, Dick or Harry are doing? If they're doing something potentially wrong, well let them.. I'm pretty sure if you look closely, you're probably not so perfect yourself.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that.. We should look at ourselves, our faults and the things we've done in our past first, before we preach, act or backbite about anyone else. We're all usually guilty of something or another.

Listen to this song. It's one of my most favourite, most greatest, most amazing and just a fantastic song. The lyrics are amazing too. Here it is - Be Safe by The Cribs.

Words of true wisdom! We are so quick to judge (and yet think it is awful if someone does the same to us)
