DO NOT JUDGE A PERSON UNTIL YOU HAVE WALKED IN THEIR SHOES


Many people live a sad life of being the judge of other people's lives, a lot of them try not to remain in this sad position, but they do not know how to quit.

The wrong thing about judging someone is that you will always be wrong about the judgment you speak. This truth comes straight because, everybody possesses different minds; also our minds have been shaped by different knowledge, environment, and cultures for over long years.

Every person lives their lives battling in their mind about their true personality; asking the question of purpose, and seeking answers in every right place and wrong places as well. For this fact, a person who wants to judge another person needs to completely go and begin a life where the other person began it and live it up until the point of the situation that requires judgment. This, we know is not possible, so we do not understand what is going on in their lives.

People are very bounds to making mistakes, and these mistakes offend us often. We can try to learn what mistakes mean; please allow me to share my knowledge on mistakes. Mistakes are unintentional actions that reveal the wrong choices that we make; it also presents new opportunities to learn better ways of doing things and teach us humility in dealing with other people.

Judging a person who makes a mistake does not allow us to see the beauty in differences. It restricts us from welcoming and accommodating the strengths in other people, and this person who judges others has not dealt with the mistakes he/she is struggling with.

The reasons why we should not judge anybody runs a long list, but we can look at this two most essential reasons; first is dealing with personal challenges and secondly dealing with mistakes. Everybody battles with these two things differently; so do not expect that people with instantly learn to deal with their challenges in your way, or handle their mistakes on your terms.

Now, it is essential to let you know that when you judge a person, it speaks about who you are and not the other person's personality. You begin to present the impression that the other person is being wrong by just being him/herself; so they can only be right if they become like you. This enlarges to become unhealthy competitions and increases the already sad situation.

Do not judge a person until you have walked in their shoes to know exactly where it hurts the most, is a popular line people are used to saying, but the temptation to judge comes quick. So, if you do not know what is going on in a person's life, do all you can to avoid discussing their conditions or situation except your discussion is done directly with them and it is pointed towards rendering the help they need.

Do not be quick to react to their actions, but always plan to give a true response that will help lighten their burden. Everyone carries their pain of the problems that they are faced with; live easy and learn how to quit that sad life.
