*Bet you can't guess which ones apply to me!
Ugh. I hate judgey-ness. Seriously, WHO HAS THE TIME?! I barely have the time to give a shit about these things for myself, I certainly don't have the band width to care what others think/feel about them. SO LAME.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like you can't open the news and find real things to judge people on-- mass murders, child abuse, politicians with questionable ethics, racists hating on a sweet 11 year old kid singing the Star Spangled Banner because his ancestors were Mexican... plenty of stuff for a person to get their judge-on on.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I can relate to this on many levels. As you might imagine.
ReplyDeleteI remember how sad I was when I discovered that arriving at work an hour earlier than everyone else was considered a virtue, but arriving on time and staying an hour later was a sign of incompetence.
Yes, yes, and yes. I judge myself plenty ... we don't need to participate in public stonings. I wish people were more gentle with each other!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I can come across as judge-y regarding international travel, but I really don't judge much. I think I'm too self-involved to care that much about what others are doing (unless they're hurting someone)!
ReplyDeleteBut...I LOVE JUDGING OTHER PEOPLE. I figure as long as I accept that I am not right and they are not wrong (except in some cases, like vaccination), and I keep my mouth shut, I am allowed to take part in this fun sport.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to Bunny's point of view. While I am obviously perfect, and my choices are THE choices that one should make, I can still live with the very imperfect choices of my less-than-perfect peers, as long as I get to judge them. I do not tell them as such, or perhaps not always, but yes, I do judge. I would say though that I judge maybe less than I am judged. Or not, who knows, the silent judgements may not be judgements at all, people are shortsighted and need to squint and I take that as a judgement on my lack of make up... :-)
