Be curious, not judgmental



 "Don't be so judgmental"



I used  to say that A LOT. I don't like when people start to judge me like they know me or know my history. Hell, I hate it. It's not like I reveal myself to everyone, yet they claim to 'know me'. Oh please, I don't even know myself. Yeah... I used to think that way. It goes the same when a friend of mine start to judge another friend of mine 'why are you being s judgmental', I always say. I even said that a lot on my twitter. Little I know, that ALL OF US are judgmental, aren't we?


The thought came from when I had this conversation with a friend of mine. Both of us are sarcastic, I admit it and yes, sarcastic people speak without even thinking whether it'll hurts others or not. We just say it. Long story shorts, we discussed about how people love to judge, when  my friend suddenly blurted 'So, we become those judgmental bitches too, don't we?' and then it hit me. All of us, consciously or not, are judgmental people.

Have you ever thought that calling people judgmental is actually making you as a judgmental person? If you say yes, congratulation, you have better knowledge than I am (not it's something you should be proud of actually) because I just realized it recently (where the hell I've been?)

Every story has two, or more, of perspective. What you may thought might be different what I may thought, it doesn't mean that you're wrong. It just means that we have different perspective. 


In my opinion, there's a slight different between judgmental and accusing, aside from Webster's. Judging is when you're taking a mental note on how you think of a person and you stick to the thought, while accusing is when you're actually saying it to the person, and that person can say whether it's true or not. Needless to say, Judging is worse than accusing.

It makes me... a bad person /le sigh\ 

You might get mad at me and say 'Bitch, I'm not like you, I never judge people', just so you know, you JUST DID.
