Let's practice acceptance and non-judgement

I am not sure what the need is for people to be so critical of others. Why do they have a need to judge others and then voice their opinions.

  • The way we look; hair, makeup, size, clothing, tattoos, piercings
  • The car we drive; I remember when we had a G.M.C. Jimmy and a Saab 900. People would flash us the finger and swear at us when we drove the Saab and wave to us when we drove the Jimmy.
  • Now we have a need to critique where we see a movie. Heck why waste your time if you didn't see it in 3-D and on Imax.
  • Our religion; I have never understood why it would be so horrific if Barrack Obama was Muslim. Do you have to be a Christian to be president?
  • Our sexuality, why are gay people such a threat to straight people??
  • If we went to college and where.
  • I've witnessed people in the holistic field judging massage, if your not the BEST why would anyone want to go to you. My Reiki lineage is better than yours. I can do the yoga pose much better than you. People, this is not a competition.
  • Stay at home mom vs working mom
  • How much weight was gained during the pregnancy
  • Our vacations, I have always hated it when people ask, "Did you do something special for vacation?"
I am also an offender. I find myself judging people who judge. Let's at least try to practice acceptance and non-judgement.
