It breaks my heart to hear someone say, "You have to love yourself first..."; then turn around and point to someone else and say, "God, look at her/him, can you believe -fill in the blank-". Just how two-faced is that? No wonder we wonder if our friends are actually being honest with us.
When did it become our right to judge someone because of how they talk, how they dress, what they believe in, how many cars they have or don't have, what neighborhood they live in or where they don't, where they work or where they don't, how they have more or less than we do, how he or she should just do this or that, how they'd be so much happier if they were on a diet or how if they'd just gain a little weight....I could go on and on.
We're all guilty of it...but why? Why must we be that way? Why can't we just accept people the way they are without trying to change them or judging them for being who they are?
The next time you think of doing it.....STOP, and think about this. They might be perfectly happy just the way they are...
Except that by judging them...you're cutting them out of your world, someone who just could have been the greatest love of your life or the best friend you could ever have asked for.
Ok, my complaining is done for the day. Carry on.
