Passing Judgement

If there's one thing that most of the world collectively does as a species it's judging. I don't mean black coat wooden mallet judging, I'm talking about drinking haterade. People drink gatorade when they're thirsty, and people drink haterade when they're feeling down on themselves. Now I'm not saying judging people is bad--hell I do it as much as the next guy, it's just how you do it and how you perceive it that's the unhealthy part. Far be it for me to be someone to tell you how to live your life, but before you judge someone or better yet while your judging someone just remember that as long as that person and his or her actions doesn't directly affect you then who cares what they do. If what something does makes them happy then where is it your place to say it's weird or dumb or any simple negative comment you might or I might have. For example: Right now there is a young female sitting across the room from me in this public place knitting--now my first thought was "why the hell is she knitting here? is she expecting grandkids at 20 something?" but then I thought "wow she looks pretty happy doing that...relaxed and complacent. On the opposite end, however, if someone said they liked to drink pee from 5 year old adolescent school boys, feel free to pass guilt free judgement on that person because that's insanely gross. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a lot of people are selfish and they judge people and put other people down to feel better about themselves when all that wasted energy could go to improving your self esteem issues that I know practically everyone has. If your going to be selfish then why don't you just worry about yourself, worry about what your doing and not about what other people are doing if it doesn't effect you and you don't like it. The grass is always greener on the other side--especially if you wear green tinted glasses. Life sucks, as soon as you get passed that you can enjoy it. By the way people watching is totally different from judging. If me and you were both going to drive to california we'd probably take totally different roads to get there and who's to say your way or my way is "better" or "safer" because it doesn't matter if we both end up in the same place...right?
