Are we judgemental?

We tend to define good and bad very rigidly. Is it fair? Sometimes we should step in others shoes, for actually knowing what made them do something we feel is incorrect. As a fact, there can nothing we wrong or right, everything depends on the situation. But we say very casually that this is wrong and that is right. Should we be more thoughtful before passing a judgement over anyone else's situation?

I believe that there are some things that are wrong or right but for the most part we do need to have some understanding and allow some freedom of choices. We should not be so quick to judge over inconsequential things.

We are basically judgmental. We judge ourselves, we judge others as per our own yardsticks. If one could practice empathy, his opinion will change. When we are able to put ourselves in other person's shoes we give unbiased opinion.

@shaynas People love to do easier things . If they could pass judgement sitting at their own houses/places what is the need of stepping into shoes of others. I find there are less people who show empathy.

@dpk262006 I agree, even at times i feel i pass my comments without thinking about their situation. Though i try not to.

But we don't do it often, we generally pass the judgements sitting in the comfort of our homes. If we can't step in their shoes, we can never understand!

No one should be judgmental especially without knowing the actual situation. Those people that we judge may be facing a struggle we don't know about.

Giving a judgement without analysis the situation is not good, at least you took give a brief knowledge about fact.

Yes person thinking way is different, some matters you feel wrong but can be right for other person.

Even a brief knowledge is not enough sometime, specially when we are judging some person. Every one has their own and unique way of reacting to some situation, we have no right to pass any judgement just because we think that was wrong or unacceptable.

I think people should be far more careful when judging another person, we do not know the circumstances of their lives at all.

Judging for the sake of judging is ridiculous but if someone's actions upsets our apple cart then there is the tendency to judge and at that point all is fair in judgement (lol)

May be we see things from our point of view, not theirs which made them act so. A single thing/action can have multiple views.

I avoid being judgmental, No one can judge a person , if she / he doesn't know what the other person have gone through in life .

We definitely need to put our self's in their shoes cause nobody knows what they have been trough . I personally always try to do that no matter who the person is . And we should be more thoughtful on these kind of things

Very true. If all of us change a bit, and show some empathy, life will be easier for many people.
