Life isn't that Simple
Judging the mistakes of others is easy, isn't it? And yet so many of us don't even know our own shortcomings even if it was hurled at our faces. I know I'm one of the majority that jumps at criticizing others when I should be a bit more reflective about myself. But how many of you even take the time to think about that. Most of you out there are like me, we lash out and say all this stuff about people we don't even begin to know or cannot even begin to comprehend. Yet we think it's perfectly okay to say shit about others when we don't even look in the mirror ourselves.
Sure, it's my opinion you say. Or, it's my website and I can say what I want or, it's my freedom of speech. But it's beyond that. I'm not talking about writing what you want to write and doing what you want to do, it's more of trying to understand that things aren't so black and white with people. Like many of the other folks out there, we say things, assume things or make comments baout things without taking into consideration the whole picture at hand. Perhaps a friend has done something that you think isn't so considerate but are you as perfect as you think you are? Shouldn't you try to be a little bit more understanding and take down those bricks from that wall you've built around you?
I know I have the whole "fuck this, fuck that" mentality about things and it's not something that I can change easily. I also see that in a lot of other folks too who rebut with saying, hey I'm only being honest but are you the paragon of an ideal person or are you so blinded by what you think you are that you can't even see your own faults?
Judging other's mistake is easy. It's easy for us to sit there and analyze, probe, dissect another person's actions of comments into little bits and pieces. Judging other's mistakes makes us think that we are better than they are. Judging other's mistakes allows us to cast a divine decision onto others that we scorn down upon. Judging other's mistake allows us to separate us from them and god, we will never be like them. Maybe that's why we love to gossip so much about people we don't even know who we think we know.
You know, we don't live in an easy world. It's not a place that's so tranquil and placid that we don't have other things to concentrate on without having hindrances and interruptions in our daily life. And as we get older, it gets harder and harder every day to be who we are and to feel comfortable with what we are in our own skin. Most of us don't even take the time to get to know ourselves, the good and the bad, let alone getting to know another person.
It's not about thinking that we're perfect or that we have more than admirable qualities than the next joe schmo, it's about trying to understand each other better without being so rigid about things. It doesn't mean you shouldn't stand for the things that you're firm on, but more that you have to consider that others are not you and they will never be like you. It's about comprehending that others have other things in their life too that affects their decisions, their opinions, their choices and their mistakes. Sure, you think who we are is who we are but man, too bad life isn't that simple huh?
