Why Judging Others Needs To Stop

Perfection does not exist.

Living in this world and observing the habits of people, one of the worst habits that I have noticed that people have is judge others. We're all guilty of pointing fingers at someone and judging them for the way they look, talk, act or dress, but at the end of the day if the person is happy with themselves, then why should you care?

A lot of times I notice people judging others for the clothes that they wear. We all know the "up and down look" that girls give to other females when checking out their outfit. It makes the other person feel extremely comfortable when they can tell that you're judging their clothes. Don't judge a person for their looks or the way they dress. If someone "overdresses" then there's nothing wrong with that; the person is probably really into fashion. If someone dresses "weird", maybe that person doesn't have the money to buy nicer clothes.

Aside from looks, sometimes judgments are made about the way a person acts. That girl acts mean? Maybe she's still hurting from bad childhood memories or she grew up in an unloving home. That guy keeps to himself? Maybe he is very shy and gets anxious around people. You never know what situation a person is going through because you're only seeing them on the outside. A person always acts a certain way for a reason so we shouldn't be quick to judge so harshly.

If we were all understanding and respectful of each other, the world wouldn't have so many judgmental people. Accept people for who they are and don't go around making judgments if you don't really know the person. Look in the mirror and recognize your flaws and remember: perfection does not exist.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
