And when personal judgement is forbidden, men’s first concern is not how to choose, but how to justify their choice. But did they? Don't judge any man until you've walked two moons in his moccasins. And never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, co-workers, and even strangers you meet along the way.

Your judgements will only judge you, and nothing will reveal in you, the only thing it will do is expose your weaknesses, more ingeniusly than the attitude of pronouncing upon your own fellows. For me, only a kind person is able to judge another person justly to make allowances for their weaknesses. A kind eye, while recognizing defects, sees beyond them. And, you are obviously not one of them.

You have no right to call anyone a hypocrite, when you yourself judge others first. It's karma. So, judge not thy neighbor until thou art come into his place. Bear that in mind.

The words you said really hurt me deep - deeper than I thought you would ever hurt me. And no, I will not tell you this - if you ask, I will deny it. I am not even going to bother, because I know you meant exactly what you said. And, I accept the truth. Right now, I'm scared everyone will judge and look at me the way you did. And, I have every right to think like that.


I wish you could feel the 'power' of the words you said to me.
The heart is screaming for HELP but the mind is too embarrassed to ask for help.

I can't do this alone.

25 Things About Other People:

1. Most people hide their suffering better than you think; you pass dozens of people a day on the street without any idea how well they're wearing their tragedies.

2. People's names are the sweetest sounds they hear. You should make a point of being good at learning and using them.

3. People love to spread their misery around, but not as much as they enjoy being lifted out of it.

4. Being young is not in and of itself an achievement. Neither is being beautiful. But people often treat you as if they are.

5. For a lot of people, music is a reflection of who they are and their relationship to life. Remember that before insulting someone's tastes in music.

6. The Golden Age never existed. People are always trying to get back to a time when things were simpler and better. The world was a far more dangerous place 50 years ago, especially if you were black or a woman or gay or diagnosed with cancer.

7. Most people, whatever their choice of profession, feel like complete novices who are about to be found out as frauds and fakers.

8. Most people love quite helplessly, despite what they would have you believe.

9. Show me the most beautiful woman in the world, and I'll show you a man who's bored with taking her to bed. Show me the most devoted husband, and I'll show you a woman who feels that he's just not doing enough. A lot of people are never satisfied because...

10. Most people have no idea what they want out of life, let alone how to get it. Most others are still waiting for someone to give them permission.

11. Whatever it is about yourself that you're trying to hide, it's usually the first thing someone else notices about you.

12. You should call your mother and tell her you love her. Like most women who decide to marry and have children or help take care of a dying parent, she probably sacrificed a lot of her dreams to be there for you, and she wishes that you appreciated her more for it. Susan Boyle represented this demographic powerfully, but for every one like her, there were a thousand women like your mother who will never get that standing ovation.

13. If you tell a man about your problems, he assumes you want some sort of help or advice. If you tell a woman about your problems, she assumes you simply want a shoulder to cry on. Women rarely want to be told what to do about a problem, and men rarely want to be coddled through a hard time.

14. Creative people thrive on feedback. You can never give them enough of it, and you will endear yourselves to them mightily if you do it frequently, thoughtfully, and honestly. They understand the value of time far better than most think.

15. For most people religion is a social commitment more than a spiritual one.

16. A lot of people who consider themselves intelligent can't properly label all the states on a map, or all the countries in Europe, let alone Africa or the Middle East. Most couldn't list off the ten commandments, five pillars, or the amendments of the Constitution, and feel that politics are too complicated to bother with understanding, let alone talking about.

17. A lot of Christians have never, and will never, read the Bible. Most of them will conduct their lives exactly as they would if they'd never attended a single church service. It is nearly impossible to tell a Christian from an atheist by their actions alone. Both Christians and atheists will probably find the previous statement offensive.

18. For nearly every crazy idea, you can find a fully credentialed scientist who will back it up.

19. People are more frequently kind and compassionate than they are fooled by our manipulations or lies.

20. Life often works in reverse. People treat strangers more politely than their family or friends. People will ask their best girlfriend to come over and cut their hair without a thought to payment, but would never dream of calling a mechanic they found in the phonebook and asking them to donate their time and labor to fix a broken-down car.

21. Everyone has done something they would be desperately embarrassed for anyone else to know about.

22. Never joke with a man about his sexual performance, and never joke with a woman about her appearance. No matter how much they make fun of these things in themselves, never, never do it for them. They may laugh along with you, but you've just driven a tiny needle into their brain.

23. Most women get married because they want to have a wedding, most men get married because they are ready to settle down with a woman for the rest of their lives. Women, statistically speaking, are more likely to suffer clinical depression if married, and initiate upwards of 80% of all divorces citing irreconcilable differences. People expect a significant other to change their lives and make them happy, without any conception of how this change will take place. It's sort of like assuming a college degree is going to guarantee you security in life without ever thinking of how this can be practically possible. I call this the "If you build it, they will come" approach to romance, and one out of every two times it ends in divorce.

24. Most people are worried they're not having as much fun as they should be. This usually makes men cheat and women nag.
