Why must we live in a world where we are constantly judged by everything we do? Where did we get these screwed up mentality that image is everything and character is apparently nothing? Most of us have this insane idea that we must look a certain way in order to do certain things and fit in certain social circles. So most of us run out and try to get the materials in order to “fit in” with what the masses tell us is cool. The biggest problem with this mentality is individuals who do not have the means to acquire these garments are automatically deemed not cool. Why does this obsession with appearance cause us to judge others so harshly?
One of the funniest quotes I hear all the time is, “I’m doing me.” Obviously some people are too busy judging others to participate in anything productive and I for one am sick of it. As soon as an individual is different in a crowd of what is defined as normal, they are labeled an outcast. Why is this so prevalent in our culture? Too many people are worried about others instead of themselves and what we don’t realize is how our judgments affect others.
Some may be tough in the daylight but they cry the tears that can only be hidden by the night. I wish people would let other people live their lives and stop examining every little thing as if they were born a detective. The worst part of this situation is the judgments are casted prematurely. Most individuals who are put in societies recycle bin are put their because of their look not because of their character or what they have contributed to society.
When someone who is always “fresh” as we like to call it sees another with old shoes on, a laugh fest commences. Why is this happening in a recession which could turn anyone’s existence upside down? Does it really take a disaster such as this for people to understand that everyone is the same? We are the same as in all of us are human. The worst part is some people still do not understand this most basic principle. We all bleed the same we all cry and have feelings, so why must we judge as if we are different? Just because an individual is better off financially than another doesn’t give them the authority to determine this person’s worth.
When it is all said and done in the end and the fat lady had hollered the last note, no one will remember the shoes we wore or the Gucci bags we rocked. No one will care about the jewelry that was once owned or who had the biggest collection of Louis Vuitton pieces. All of these types of accolades are only trivial things that mean little to others and only the world to the owner. People will remember the warmth of your heart and the grace of your spirit. They’ll remember the way you helped them in there time of need which enabled them not to fall too far beneath the cracks of life. It matters what you did in life so “do you” in a way that means something in this world because when we’re dead our image dies with us.
terrific post baby!
