Judge & Be Judged

How many times when you open your mouth to say something about the appearance a person u saw on the street or some celebrities, you have the mindset that someone else might be saying the same thing be it nasty or nice about yourself?

I do! When I am judging someone, I already know at the back of my head that someone else might be judging me too. Probably saying something nasty about the way I dress, put on my makeup or worst, how I look! I cannot possibly choose how I look, nor my parents can choose how I look. I do admit that I am vain, definitely want myself to look better too! Also I do not deny that I do judge people, mucking around for fun how funny they looked with my gal friends. I used to like to sit at a cafe with a couple of my friends to do people watching. We used to scrutinize every person who pass by and make jokes about their appearances or praise how good they look.

People get upset when they heard of negative comments about people passed on themselves.. But, hello? Haven't you, yourself passed negative comments on others?

For example, one of the well-known blogger got upset because people have been passing negative remarks on how she looks, how short she is, how she photoshopped her pictures. Well, if I do meet her in person one day... I'd tell her," didn't you judged others on your blogs and made crude comments? When you judge others, be ready to be judged by others as well. Take it with a pinch of salt." It might have occured to her as a joke.. How about the person she made a joke out of? Or when she is being placed in that person's shoes? Wouldn't she feel insulted?

Or another case, one of my friends like to use big words in her blog or everyday life... She caught chicken pox sometime back and she used the word "jurisdiction" in the wrong context.

She said:
"I have no jurisdiction over my chicken pox, why can't people stop giving me that look?"


While me and some others friends are laughing at her wrong choice of words, she might be laughing at us for our ignorance, for she thinks that "jurisdiction" means control - which it is but, only in legal context. Who knows, she might be laughing her head off at me for my grammer mistakes and spelling errors, or even unorganised writing in my blog.

I do admit I am such a bitch who makes jokes of people's appearences and stuff, I know there are bound to be "self-rightous" people out there who feel that I am such a bitch to make fun of people's appearences at times. Might be a joke to me and those who think its a joke, not to those who do not have the same sense of humour.

Who cares anyway? Afterall, I am allowed to have comments on things and so do others. If I had to be so up-tight about what others think about me all the time, I'd be a very very very sad person. Isn't it?
