Being human, we differ very much from each other. Each day we are placed in situations where we are in contact with each other - at home, in and around the office, in class, etc.
Sometimes we judge people, I even judge people. We judge each other on the clothes we wear, the way our hair is styled, the manner in which we speak and a whole range of different things.
The truth is, when two people come out of a building, they walk into their own story. They walk into their life. The phrase, “back to reality” comes to mind.
We can look at the following scenario:
Person A and Person B leaves the building their workplace is situated in. Person A always feels that Person B does not dress right for work or “look” the part of a good employee. Person B has sagging eyes and Person A thinks he is on drugs or even an alcoholic. Person A decides to have it investigated the next morning – a drug test.
Person A comes from a wealthy family. He drives a new Mercedes Benz and is on his way to his closely knit family in their double story house in the Suburbs of Cape Town. When he arrives at home, he has a wife waiting for him with a warm, cooked meal. His children are well behaved and do well in school.
Person B comes from an average family. He drives an old Ford, as money can be better spent on food or school fees. He comes home, to find his wife not yet home from her workplace. He prepares supper - noodles. His wife comes home, only to tell him that their son is in trouble again. He was suspended from school, as he was in the possession of drugs and on a “high”. Together they wonder where they will get enough money to send him to rehab - AGAIN. Person B lies awake during the night, stressing, hence the sagging red eyes.
Person A was SO quick to judge. He didn’t even know the situation. This is a simple scenario, but very true.
We must stop judging others and learn to look at our own faults. When you are a 100% perfect, you will have my blessing to judge.
So true! Each person has their own story that defines them and we have no right to judge.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. None of us are perfect. Everyone have their own problems and mistakes. It is not our place to judge! We should rather look at ourselves first.
