A wise man once said, "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
This quote sounds a bit odd, but I think it is applicable to my life. You see, I am a very judgmental person. I don't want to be this way - I just am. It might be the person's size/appearance or if they say something dumb...just whatever, I'll probably form a negative opinion. I feel like I am constantly internally criticizing people. I don't let my behaviors show this either - it is all internal thoughts that I don't share.
Meanwhile, while I am busy judging others, I feel like they judge me by the same standards I judge them. It makes me feel very hypocritical. Here I am, thinking all these negative thoughts about imperfect people, but yet I am not perfect....if that makes sense. I'm not sure that it does make sense, but I'm not sure how to say it.
Furthermore, I feel like if I could lower my standard by which I judge people, I think I would be less self conscious as well.
Anyone have any ideas on what to do about this? I'd like to not form such superficial opinions of people so quickly. It is worth noting that I don't like the way that I am, and I want to improve it...I just don't really know how. Any Ideas?
