absolutely nobody on the world is perfect, so tell me why do we judge one another when we also know that we are not perfect too, just make some gossip to someone else?.
i made mistakes, you make mistakes,but those mistakes also make us wiser and more mature in person, so why some people cry over and over for what we've done to our past? perhaps some of us can't accept their past . Let just forget about it and keep looking forward. REGRETTING it does not help at all. it wont change what we've done before and also we cannot turn time back. REMEMBER "past is past" we must accept what we have done before. So live life to fullest and remember, smile everyday. :)

You're perfecty right there, nobody is perfect.. And that's what makes us perfect! WE are perfectly imperfect" We all mistake, that's absolutely true, if we don't then we are not really doing very much at all! 
As a Zen practitioner I often find myself in my meditation, judging others. It can't be helped by anybody, because by example, society is constantly demonstrating to us why we need to judge.
The truth is though, that when we judge others, it is ourselves that we are judging, because the opinions we have about others resided in our own minds, that are part of us. So judging others gets to be automatic, until we focus on what we are doing through meditation or being mindful of it. If we don't judge our own judgement, slowly as time goes by, we begin to drop judging within the mind and here was have really freedom in enlightenment.
The past no longer exists, and future not yet, so only here and now is real. There is no judgement there, only being aware as a witness. The moment we judge, we move out of the present moment and are stuck there. Stuck in something that doesn't exist in the past or future that are linked together in illusion.. Are we not crazy humans!?

We do this because we are quick to find faults in others. But when it comes to ourselves, we don't want to find faults so we just notice the good things about ourselves.

A saying runs like this, you cannot be an effective individual when you will not commit a mistake. Yes mistakes could be a great teacher to an individual as long as it is taken positively and be checked then, but it is a worse thing if you will not learned from this at all.

We judge others because we have our own beliefs and what we feel is correct. Younger people should respect older folks and listen to them. But alot of young people think they know it all and do not listen and end up wishing they had. Nobody is perfect but some have experienced life and are good for some very sound advice. SMiling are you?

Its no doubt that human beings are all imperfect by nature and the only person that is perfect I would say it's our Heavenly ABBA. GOD! Yes, human beings all make mistakes and what really matters is not about what kind of mistakes we made or how serious it is but it is the matter of whether you learn from the mistakes that you've made and thus never to repeat the same old mistakes again.

Generally people cry about how non-perfect other people are, in order to feel better about how imperfect they are.
See if you are horrible, then I don't feel so bad about me not being great. It's the same problems humans have had since the dawn of time. We are prideful.

people always make mistake. that's meant nobody perfect in this world. if someone make us angry and we think he/she is a jerk, we should forgive them. we not perfect.people always make mistake , give them chance to make change after what they did. If they realize that they are wrong, they will make change to their life. Forgive what they do and give them chances.

Unfortunately we are lazy critters. Gossip and ill attitudes about other folk, as well as putting demands on other folks are so much easier than putting those expectations on ourselves, as it should be done. By third personing we get a false feeling of accomplishment and generally hold higher expectations for those third persons than for ourselves because we're always willing to easily accept (and excuse ourselves) because of our own short comings..The simplest way to deal is to..'Forgive! Forget! And get on with it!'..Enjoy!

Hi Chum!
Yes, we are all not perfect but it does not mean that we just need to keep silent when bad things happen around us. Criticism does not mean lowering the others or gossiping. There is one we called as constructive criticism which from there we could learn things and can be used to improve ourselves.I don't like gossiping others and when it comes to my or other mistakes, I will try to forgive but I can not and will not forget the whole part. I will keep some so just in case if I face the same situation I am ready with ways to overcome it. Don't just simply forget things and then cry out for the same problems in a future. If it so it means that we don't learn anything from the past~ And it is not supposed to be that way since you already have the experience things should not be more complicated than the past.
I made a discussion about it a month ago about things we called as past is past~

Mistakes are part of human nature, it is what makes us stronger as a person. Without them like you say, we wouldn't learn. No one is perfect we all make them.
I don't know why we judge people, we should always try and forget and remember the past is the past, but I will have be the first to admit I tend to sometimes hold grudges and not erase them from my past. Don't take me wrong, I have tried millions of times to forget, but some how those same people continue to hurt me and sometimes I wonder if they do it on purpose. So at times it does get a bit difficult to accept and forgive the mistakes they have made, especialy when they are peoeple that are suppose to love you...
Besides those people (which I will not mention them), I try to forgive and forget and like you say live life to my fullest, enjoy every minute of the day and smile.

Nobody is perfect and it does not mean imperfection. We learn from all negative outcome of our steps towards challenges in life and so do not be discouraged but be a fighter. Learn from all our mistakes. As we fall, we need to stand. Savor the bitterness of experiences not only its sweetness as this will help you balance the situation and so who will judge you if you have mastered the game of life. Let them laugh at you, and let your laughter sounds louder in the end to overcome theirs.

Nobody's perfect. We all have our imperfections to our loved ones, co-workers, and even our parents. It is because we have our own way of doing things which we believe right for us for every individual is unique. It doesn't mean that since nobody is perfect we shall go on our own ways but let our mistakes be a reason for improvement, a way to reflect things so the next time we do or say something at least some fore thoughts are being considered. I still believe the world is still a wonderful place so let us smile and strive to be happy. Have a wonderful weekend my friends at myLoters.

Well, that is why we are called human being right? but holding to our past may not help us grow and be more mature in the future. We must learn from our mistakes and look back from our past so that we will have proper guidance in the future. It is not necessary to cry over what you have already done, because it's done and nobody can turn back time. The most important thing is that we have the ability to cope, to learn and to move on..

People are really judgemental. We see other people's mistakes but we can't see ours. We think that we are always the best. We are too proud of ourselves. If we can only learn how to show humility. We all commit mistakes and we must learn from it so we will not commit the same again.

Well those people who make judge to others are people who see's themselves to that person. And they hated it and cannot accept the fact that there are people who exist and has some quality as him/her.
Some also is just that they exist in these world as a person who love to ruin others life.
There is this saying that "Don't do unto others as others don't do unto you".

Life is unfair that's why nobody is perfect. We need to take a risk in order to survive in this kind world, that we are living now.There is always a choice. yeah you're right that live life to the fullest and smile every day. that kind of attitude is optimistic. I Think that you are an optimistic person. Life is long it is never been short. Have a nice day. Good luck .
