Do you judge people?


When you heard about someone, automatically your mind starts to establish negative thoughts towards that person therefore leading to bad judgments. As you can see, everyone thinks their own opinions are right and justified, otherwise they wont even have those opinions, right? Hence our opinion may be a bit overly negative or that we just don’t really have a good basis for disliking so-and-so.

It’s also a sign of personal maturity to be able to have good judgments, positive feedbacks and to review what underpins our behavior. Think about it? Have we taken a dislike to someone for no good reason? Lets say, your friend criticize someone because of one personal reason, do you have to do it too?
Is this the kind of person we really want to be?

Sometimes, I too, may have made negative judgments towards other people. Innocent people. You see someone, based on their looks and actions, we pass judgments on them. Not good judgment either. I am trying to change. To have a better attitude. To change how I see things and also people. Do remember that, everyone, and I mean everyone has a good side in them. Eventhough life shows how cruel and heartless he may be, some people or someone may noticed the kindness inside. P/S: Well, some people may became a monster, ruthless or cold-blooded animals. So for those kind of people, obviously they deserve to have bad judgments.

Here's how the DUAL method : 
1. Don't pass judgment : If you find yourself being judgmental, stop yourself. 
2. Understand : Instead of judging, try to understand the person. Put yourself in their shoes. 
3. Accept : After you understand, try to accept for who he/she is. Not by trying to change them.
4. Love. : Loving others will serve to make your life happier. Loving others may also change the lives of others. 

You can try this quiz to see whether are you a judgmental person or not. Here’s the link,

This is my result:
“You know better than to judge a book by its cover, and you don't make snap judgements about people either.
You look at the facts, and you try to make educated choices. You never mind admitting that you're wrong.
It's hard for you to trust people that you've just met. You always need to get to know people.
You never go with your gut, but you may be surprised. Your intuition is probably more dead on than you realize.”
Someone told me that no matter how bad that person may be, always have good thoughts about them. Thanks. :)
