MAKE NO JUDGMENT~

Have you ever heard a story about yourself, that you obviously knew was false? Have you ever been the centre of a rumour?
Have you known someone who was personally attacked with a false rumour? Its an invasive and helpless feeling.
In the state of  ultimate sense of self, full consciousness, we wouldn't care in the slightest what has been said about us, but in reality, as we are working towards that ultimate state... we care, and it hurts.

I often remind myself of this when  forming my opinion on a situation. First off, my opinion doesn't matter, unless it involves ME, but the opinions I'm speaking of, do not involve me.

Be honest when you ask yourself, "How often do I make opinions about other people, and other peoples situations" ?
We do it all the time..... ALL THE TIME.


Your driving down Blanschard Street, and slow down to the red light. Next to you is a busker, with a sign  "Broke and Hungry". Some of you will have a saddened thought and want to help, and some of you will be upset that this 'homeless' person isn't trying to find a job, and how dare they assume I'm not broke and hungry!!
First off, we have not a single hint as to why this person is standing next to our window, with torn pants and no jacket begging for money. Yes the possibility of a drug problem gone very wrong exists, but so do a million other  terribly unfortunate circumstances unknown to US.

What about the woman at the bar wearing literally next to nothing!
 Girls we have all seen her, and maybe at some point, been her. The common immediate thought crossing our mind and often out our lips...."SLUT". Again, no body but her has an understanding of where her head is at. There are so many reasons that she chose to wear what she wore, and it has nothing to do with her morals or personality.
MAKE  NO JUDGMENT~
The home you pass on the back road with more junk than you can fathom. Multiple vehicles, garbage piled sky high, broken windows.... whatever. We tend to think "grosse", "how can someone let it get THAT bad"?
Well again, we don't know. We don't know because we aren't them, we aren't in their heads, and we don't know what the issue stems from.
In cases where people are overly messy and destructive of their home lives it generally falls into their personal lives as well. Physical health issues along with mental and emotional health issues will not fall far behind, and these the issues in their lives that we dont know.
 MAKE  NO  JUDGMENT~
The couple who breaks up and gets back together, fights, breaks up and fights and then again gets back together. It is so easy for 'our' opinions and 'obvious' answers to fly out of our mouths.
Like we KNOW their relationship in detail.. First off we for the most part don't have the answers for our own relationship problems. Who are we to try to answer questions we simply don't know?
MAKE  NO  JUDGMENT~

We all know the saying, every story as 2 sides. Well every person has a million stories. Stories  that have brought them to today. Every quirk, feature or 'flaw' we have is built up through years of 'stories'.
Half the time we don't know why we do some things, so how is it that someone else feels they can tell us how to fix it?
When its time, IF its important, we'll find a way and fix it ourselves.

So if you have found yourself in the midst of hearing a rumour, step back and remember that there are a million ways that this story came about, and likely those millions of ways, are millions of judgments from people who know.....NOTHING!!!

DONT MAKE JUDGMENTS~
