At some point in our lives we have all judged a person, whether we judged based on looks or clothes or how a person talks. Alot of times we may have judged someone because we were jealous of what they had or where they worked. It would seem though that as we get older, we would stop judging. How is it that people feel they can judge someone without really knowing a person? Who gave us the right to judge in the first place?
It's funny, to me, how people go along in their daily lives saying they are happy but are so quick to turn around and judge someone. Do people judge simply to make themselves feel better about their own lives? To me, judging is a sign of insecurity. If someone is truly happy with their life and with themself, then what is the point of judging?
As a teenager I always thought I would grow up and school, work, etc. would be a place free of judgment and jealousy. Boy, was I stupid! I couldn't have been more wrong. It seems that in the "adult" world people thrive on judging. God forbid someone drive a better car or have a bigger house or make more money at their job than you. Sure, I'm a little jealous of people who have a boat or a swimming pool. I want those things too! But I would never even consider trying to make those people feel bad about themselves. I would never try to make them look bad in front of other people. Quite honestly, I think that would be a reflection of my own stupidity and insecurities.
We are all different and unique. We all have different ways of doing things. We can't judge someone because they are different than us. We shouldn't be jealous because someone has something we don't. We should all strive to be happy with what we do have (and befriend those boat owners)!

Keep in mind that the people who are sticking their noses in the air are really just looking upwards towards the rest of us. We're happy and they tell themselves and everyone else they are happy. There's a big difference there and, in my experiences, the judgmental ones are too stupid to understand what it may be. Expect their names to be in the same sentence as the phrase, "had it coming" soon enough.
