Please forgive me as this is a rant about someone and the title as
about being judgmental and I'm sitting here writing on my blog about
being judgmental, but just read on. Last week, someone that I know had
said to me, "Look at what they are doing to themselves, they shouldn't
be going there." She was talking about these overweight couple that just
walked out of a local wing store with their order. I asked why she
hated those people
so much and she responded by saying that she doesn't hate them but what
they do to their bodies. I then told her that there's nothing that you
can do and she told me that she will pray for them. Irritated, I told
her that I don't think that that is going to help them. She looked at me
surprised and said, "Excuse me?" So then I reiterated to her, "That is
not going to help them, you should tell them yourself." Then she was
quite after that.
Now I don't normally come off as
abrasive as that but this lady is quite rude and judgmental. I honestly
thoroughly dislike her. She just irks me. I don't know if she just
doesn't think before she spits out her venom or what. She actually SEEMS
like she is a nice person but I can see right through her. Also, she
hides it by talking about the Lord. I just don't get her. She claims
that she is a Christian and is a follower, but she does not act like it
at all. She gets mad at people for saying the word ass and makes a big
deal about it but she can openly judge people by their weight and it's
like nothing to her.
Now I am not saying that I'm not
judgmental at times, I know that I am, but I wouldn't openly say that to
people that I am not really that close with. Like, I know her but I am
not her best friend or even her FRIEND at all. It just gives people a
bad taste in their mouth about you. I don't like to hear random people
judging other people. I don't know you, so don't come to me with your
hateful ways. Let's because friends first, so that I know I can trust
you, and then we can judge people together.
I know
it's not right to judge people, but I'm okay with that. When I'm around
my husband or some friends and we sit around and judge other people we
are not hurting anyone or ourselves. It's just friendly chit chat
between people that we talk about and then we let go. I don't hold on to
things like that. It's just conversation to talk about and laugh and
have a good time and then that's all that it is. I am not openly
attacking anyone or their character. I don't know them so I can't say
anything about who they are as a person. Just what's on the outside. If
that makes me a bad person, then you can spank me, but other than that. I
don't really see much harm. I'm pretty sure that people do the same
about me, and I could care less.
What about you guys? What's your stance on the situation or on the topic of judgement? Let me know in the comments below!
