Judgements

It amazes me how many people “judge” others….it could be by their actions, it could be by their interests, or by their family members. I do not understand why it is so hard to NOT judge others…Just accept them! Or how about this….why is it so hard to keep your mouth shut about people when you are near someone else??? I am sick and tired of it! Im tired of sitting by and keeping my mouth shut constantly and people not giving me that same respect back. So here goes….
Maybe in another life, maybe I could be as careless and rude….but not in this one. My parents raised me to treat people as you want to be treated….we were Southern East Coasters…you know the kind that you see in books talking about the civil war…..but that was my life. We were taught to respect your elders, and to enjoy life, however that may pan out for you. We were taught to smile at strangers and not to judge other people unless you want to be judged….we were taught that respect is earned but everyone deserves a chance. In conflicts, we were taught to confront people and tell them, I do not like when you do that…..and in turn those people were taught to say Im sorry and try to be better.
But here, in the life that I lead now…NONE Of this makes sense. No one follows the rules here….I tried to fit in, to be like camoflauge and blend in with my surroundings, but after a month of being around people that could not seperate truth from lies….or venting and talking smack….I said NO MORE….I would rather be at home with my family than to be around people who cannot even behave like civilized adults. I know that was the smart move. But it has not left me with the greatest results.
Since then, Ive had people come to my door and be rude in the name of curiosity…Ive had people judge me and my family because of the way we live, Hell Ive even had someone spray my doorhandle with cooking spray…..hardeeharrharr….I hear you laughing and snickering because you think its funny. Imagine, spend all night in the ER with your newborn baby getting stuck by more needles than you knew that they could pull out….with the baby running a 103 temp and meds not changing that….come home and then realize that someone that is very immature smeared cooking spray all over your door and the floor below the door. WHat would you do? Would you laugh if your child slipped and fell because of that mess??
Thats not all, Im angry that people want to put me into their own classifications because of what I enjoy to do….Screw that! I read….that makes me intellectual….that makes me a person that is trying to better myself. Or how about this…I blog….that makes me someone who is so in touch with my feelings that I can put them into words so that the people around me can understand me. I am not afraid to voice my opinions, because I and they are REAL….there is no hidden agenda anywhere in my words. I say how I feel. Are you upset that I dont come to your door and tell you to your face? WHy? WHat good would that do? You sit behind your doors and you smear peoples names in the excuse of “venting”….you laugh and make fun of people because they arent like you….Do I open my mouth and tell what you’ve said….NOPE. Because Im not that person….I am sick and tired of it…I take myself out of the equation .
