Instead of judging someone , calling them slut or whore or dumbass or jerk or whatever , isn't it easier to tell yourself you simply don't understand their lifestyle and let it go ? I'm something I used to dislike , only because i used to be ignorant and now I understand . People have different lives and different upbringings , make different choices , like different things; to each and everyone of them their decisions are just as justified as yours are to you .
Next time you call someone a bad word , remember that there is someone out there who's just as willing to judge you for what you do because they don't know you . Then you complain about judgemental people ? No one wants to be a bad person , honestly , but they're deemed so by people who don't understand them . Plus , people are governed by emotions most of the time , just as much as you are yourself , so try walking in someone else shoes for once . Strong emotions always hinder rationality , just because you are more sober than someone at a given time doesn't mean you're any better at handling things .
I need to remember this , even if I'm not making sense , even none of this is true . Because so far it's working and I'm beginning to empathize with everyone around me better . Long way to go , though , Long way to go .
