13 thoughts on “I Have Become Too Judgmental and Negative”
I used to live in Charlotte.. At first I thought well..all these folks could be racing to the hospital..then I realized that ‘No’..they are just all racing period. It took a while, but I eventually embraced the idea that even though someone’s driving is rude and aggressive..they themselves probably are not.
If I had the power to rid the world of one thing, it would be judgment. Who are we to decide that anyone is less? That someones beliefs are wrong because they differ from ours? When our journey here is complete, the only thing that will matter is how we loved one another.
I hope your journey continues to give you insights about being judgmental. It took me a long time to get there. BTW, I swerved out of my lane (and nearly hit another car) because I was Shazaming a song. Duh.

And it is important to separate the two. Just because someone acts a certain way doesn’t mean that is who they are.

I agree. I will admit some people make it very very difficult for me to practice not judging! lol

Yes, but that is the lesson we must learn. To replace judgment with kindness, patience, tolerance and love.

That I came so close to hitting another car because I NEEDED to know what song was playing. How crazy.

Of course, but in light of the context of my post my judgmental approach isn’t productive.
