"It's easy to judge. It is more difficult to understand. Understanding requires compassion, patience, and a willingness to believe that good hearts choose poor methods. Through judging, we separate. Through understanding, we grow." - Doe Zantamata

It is human nature to judge. The first thing you want to do when you see someone is immediately judge them based off of what you see. It is hard to fight the urge and resist from judging, but when you do, life becomes more positive. I still struggle sometimes with the human nature of wanting to judge, but I am improving every day.

I will not judge someone based off of their looks or what they wear. Someone might dress differently and that is okay. They may dress that way because they feel their best in that clothing. Who am I to say they cannot wear it because it does not fit my taste? They may wear it because it is what they can afford. Who am I to judge them because of something they cannot help? They may dress in whatever they like and I will do the same. I will not laugh, I will not act disgusted, and I will not judge.

I will not judge someone based off of the religion they believe in or if they choose not to believe. That is their choice and I will do everything I can to protect their right to do so. I have the right to worship the God I want, and so should they. As a Christian, I am told not to judge. Why would I disobey my God and judge? In America, you have the freedom of religion and I will not judge you just because your religion is not the same as mine.

I will not judge because the color of your skin is not the same as mine. I will not think of you any differently just because of your race. We are all humans. We are all equal. You are not any more or any less of a person because of the color of your skin. I did not choose my skin color; I was born this way. No one chose their skin color; they were simply born that way. I will not judge someone because of a simple characteristic of their body.

I will not judge someone because of who they love. If someone is happy, why would I want to take their happiness away from them? Your choice of who you love has no bearing on my life. If I love someone, then I would never let someone tell me I cannot love them. Love who you want and love deeply. I will not judge.

I will not judge someone based off of their appearance. People are born looking the way they do. We cannot just pick out our own facial features and body structure before we are born. To some people, I may be unattractive, while to others, I may be beautiful. Others' perceptions of me do not matter. What matters is how I feel about myself. Someone may already be uncomfortable in their own skin, so why make it any worse by judging? Feel beautiful the way you are. I will not judge.

I will not judge anyone, regardless of what you look like, behave like, believe in, or love. To me you are a person, just like me. We all make mistakes. We all mess up in life. We all fall in love and we all get heartbroken. We all have something we are passionate about. We all just strive to be happy in life. I will not judge you because your life is different than mine and I hope you will not judge me in return.
