As human beings, we all tend to judge one another. We go crazy over the latest news and always feel the need to let our opinions be heard. We could argue for hours over whose opinion is "better," and we love telling other people why what they think is absolutely wrong. We divide ourselves into cliques based on what we believe in or which side we take on an issue.
This happens all too often, simply because we have a tendency to create an issue over literally everything. Honestly, it can really get annoying. We argue over how much makeup is acceptable for people to wear, what clothes are acceptable to wear for your size, whether a gorilla should be shot because of a parent's negligence and so much more. We are petty. We shame others for having different opinions and taking different sides. And since it seems to be the popular thing to do, I too am going to put my opinion out there. Brace yourselves.
Humans are horrible.
Harsh but true. What kind of world do we live in where shaming is accepted? We get offended by everything. We treat others like trash because they think differently.We judge them for petty appearances and by numbers on scales and tests. That's why we're horrible.
And because we think this is OK, I'm here to say this:
Stop shaming others.
What's stupid is hating someone because they believe gay marriage is OK, and we don't agree. What's ugly is telling someone they're ugly because you believe they "shouldn't be wearing that." What's considered "fat" to you may be someone's new personal best weight. It could be the healthiest they've been in years. What's trashy may be someone's attempt to get better. What's lame is judging someone by their past choices when you don't even know what they were going through at the time. What's cruel is threatening others for having different religious beliefs.
What's wrong in your eyes may be the best choice that person has made for themselves in a long time. What's dumb is ending friendships because you couldn't bring yourself to get over a difference with someone. What's disgusting is tearing others apart for being unique. That's all we do these days. We tear each other apart, then wonder why this world is falling to pieces.
Stop worrying about what other people are doing in life and start living your own. Focus on you. Worry about yourself. Make you happy. Congratulate each other on successes in life instead of criticizing people. Life is too short for harsh words and hateful remarks just because someone is different than you.
P.S. Please acknowledge that I continuously said "we..." I do not exclude myself from being rude or judgmental towards others. This message was for myself as much as it was for others around me.
So let's all stop shaming and start living.
