Are We Too Quick To Judge?
|
Are We Too Quick To Judge?  Did you roll your eyes at that 350-pound man in front of you in the all-you-can-eat buffet line? Would you judge him a little differently if you learned that he has an inoperable brain tumor and needs to take steroids that blow up his size? Remember the way you screamed and glared at that lady who started to drift into your lane? Would you have reacted differently if you knew that she was driving home from the hospital after her just passed away? Did you judge that guy who stood helplessly by, while the lady in front of him struggled to lift her heavy carry-on bag from the overhead bin? Would you think differently if you knew he was flying home from two spine surgeries and wasn’t allowed to raise his arms or lift anything more than five pounds? Or maybe that guy you thought was rude, because he didn’t acknowledge your greeting in the elevator? Would you cut him a little more slack if you discovered that he just left his lawyer’s office making a bankruptcy filing for his business, and was thinking about how to tell his family? Remember what you thought about that lady in front of you at the checkout, trying to sneak 11 items in the 10 items or less line? Would it matter so much to you if she had a special needs at home, or was a caretaker for an elderly parent, and she was desperate to get back to them quickly? You know that new guy that seemed aloof to you? Would you have given him more of a chance if you found out he has social anxiety disorder and needs extra time to open up to people? Did you think that guy on the subway was a jerk because he didn’t get up and offer his seat to that elderly lady? What if he’s a wounded warrior and under those slacks are two prosthetic legs that he’s still learning to balance on? Maybe the better question is simply this… Are we too quick to judge? |

I'm one to make snap judgements pending the situation. But with that said, i always keep it to myself and give time for the scenario to pan out. Like you mention, we never know the story behind the person. We all have our own little issues and nothing hurts more emotionally than being judge by someone who doesn't know you or your situation.

Yes, and I am occasionally guilty as charged. I try not to... but we all fail at times, don't we... Catching ourselves, and making amends when we can, is what makes us human... Well said.

Are we too quick to judge? Yes . . . and this site is further evidence of that phenomenon. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

I don't judge as quickly as I once did. I myself have had a major spinal operation and can't lift heavy objects but I've had some people roll their eyes at me at times.

I know I do at times usually when I've got some crap on my mind but most of the time I'm pretty good at keeping an open mind as to what may be the cause of the odd behavior. Vive La Difference

Of course we judge too quickly.....we view only short scenes. That said since we pass so many people in the course of the day it's not really a permanent judgement.. Click Here To Read A Hot Erotic Story: When A Woman Meets A Stranger Part 1 of 4

You've made a good response to Myelin, Zara. I just want to add that the Muslim faith has been around for over 1,500 years. Our snap judgment linking its practitioners to terrorism is less than a generation old. I hope it passes. My featured post this week: Pulling Fantasy Sex Out of My Ass.

It is human nature to make snap judgments about the people we meet and it also seems to be human nature to be wrong alot of the time. Please don't let me be misunderstood.

Agreed we all judge way to quickly. I catch myself doing it from time to time but when I do I try to remember most of us has been judged in one way or another that was untrue and hurtful.
