Choices.

I don't like it when people look at someone and judge them.

Ok, so I used to do it. But I'm not being hypocritical on this, because unlike many people, I have stopped that.
I remember walking past people, looking at them and thinking so many things, drawing conclusions, and making up assumptions on why they are the way that they are.
Why they dress different, or wear too much/not enough makeup, why they are too skinny, or too overweight. I used to analyze their every feature, their every movement.
Then I stopped one day, and thought about it.
If I'm doing that to people, looking them up and down, critisizing them. Then they could be doing the same when they look at me, right?
They could look at me, and judge me, not even get to know me.

And I got upset about it.
I wanted to know why people could do that, without knowing anything about that person, the kind of personality they have, or what their life is like, why they are the way that they are.

And I did the exact same thing to everyone else.

Obesity.
One of my main beliefs in life, is that if you are happy living the way that you are, then why should anything bother you?
Sure, it's easy to look at someone who is clearly a lot larger than you, and judge them. But do you have any idea what their life is like, or who they are?
No, you fucking don't.

For all you know, they have a hard life, and they can't help the way that they act because of that.
And don't you dare fucking say that it's a matter of will, because it's not. Maybe you just haven't had a hard enough life, you don't understand. You can't understand why it is that people eat for 'comfort' until you experience a hard life like they might.
You can't make a judgement like that, until you've experienced that exact same thing. But no, your life is so perfect, you can't even begin to comprehend what they might feel. You don't know what a hard life is, and you probably never will.
So why fucking judge, before you fucking know?

Maybe they're happy the way that they are. That's what I admire. When someone knows they aren't 'skinny', but is still comfortable and confident with themselves.
So who are you to judge them on that?

Who do you think you are, if you think you have the right to judge another person?
If you can look at someone you DON'T KNOW, and critisize their every feature, then what does that say about you, really?
Superficial maybe?
I for one, can't stand it.
I hate listening to people who talk like that, I can't cope with it.

It's not a matter of will, ok? It's not a matter of being greedy, or lazy.
It's a matter of someone's lifestyle.
How they were brought up, what they were taught. What has happened in their lives.

A person can look and act however they want, and they shouldn't have to feel like everything about them is being judged.
So why do it?
Why add to their insecurities?
Why would you believe that you have that right?

Maybe someday you can get down off your high horse, and try just fucking accepting someone the way they are.
Better yet, try getting to know them. Before you make stupid, primary school observations.

Self involved, superficial asswipes.
That's all you are.

    i do know where you are coming from though, i have learnt over the last few years not to judge until you know exactly what someone is going through...
