I was checking my e-mail today on msn.com and noticed an article in their slideshow titled, Am I Too Big for Love? I thought to myself, why do people write such stories? I then began to think about how our society is the way it is today. We are so materialistic, complex, and unsatisfied with everything, I’m surprised we can even live amongst each other. I find it sad that we need to write article about things like this. When will people learn that each individual is beautiful in her or his own right? I think obesity in America is becoming an epidemic and I don’t think that it is a way to go through life. But my statement makes has its own opinion. Some individuals need to realize that everyone is entitled to her or his own opinion and sometimes those opinions are not appropriate to reveal.
I am a hypocrite, because I have and do judge people. It is sad to think about. I am not perfect so what place do I have to judge other people? I sin everyday and ask forgiveness just the like but that does not make it any better. I have my own preferences, opinions, and ideas about how one should do this or that, but that does not mean it is the right way. Socially, we have become accustomed to thinking beautiful is a big breasted model in a Victoria’s Secret Magazine. So who deemed that sexy? Obviously one can agree with the statement that they are pretty, but I’m just saying that individuals do not need to necessarily discriminate against others because they do not look or feel the same way.
I can understand that it is hard to put yourself in someone else’s shoes but maybe we all need to try it.
I think that it would help greatly. I also think that individuals have more to worry about than judging other people. We all believe in something and if you don’t, then you are lost and you need to find God.
I have my own opinions and beliefs about right and wrong, but I try not to judge other people.
I was reading davidh’s blog and he stated that we are never satisfied. It’s true. Like he said, if it hot, we’d want cooler weather. If it were cold, we’d want warmer weather. If it were raining, we’d want it to stop, and if it hadn’t rained in a while, we’d want it to rain and so on. The same thing goes for a countless number of other things. It is in human nature to want more and strive for perfection. Another example would be the article I mentioned. If a guy had a hot wife, he’d want something else like a big house or a nice car. Or if he had a overweight wife, he’d want he to be less fat. The same goes for women as they’d most likely want the same things.
I think people need to some time out once in a while and enjoy the simple things. Life is more than money and popularity. We shouldn’t judge others nor should we treat them how we wouldn’t want to be treated. As a Christian, I am supposed to spread the word of the Lord and his blessings. I know I don’t do a very good job of that, but I pray that God continues to work with me. I find it sad that many individuals and myself get caught up in things that don’t matter: drama, hate, greed, and envy, among many other things. We need to take time to enjoy life, not critique it.
It would seem that it is human nature to look at others and judge. I agree that that it is hard not to. It seems my biggest down fall is not judging how bad of an attitude my ex has. I am gald I do not have to listen it everyday anymore. Good blog, it makes one stop and think.
ReplyDeleteI read that article on MSN today too. I couldn't believe that was an MSN featured article. It would be good for us to put ourselves in others shoes sometimes. Good blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you we shouldn't judge others. That is a good way to look at things sometimes is from other peoples shoes. I also hope that God helps me not to judge others and always stay open minded to other peoples opinions. Good job.
