It's interesting how people all think so differently. Each person has their own perspective, their own outtake on the how the world is. As I observe people interacting, making choices, and sometimes obviously judging I can't help but wonder how we all ended up so differently.
The one thing that constantly confounds me as I observe people is how they can be so judgmental, I know that may sound like I'm judging those who judge, but the simple fact of the matter is I'm not, they just confuse me. I see them and I wonder what's their motive for acting so, what is their inspirations. It intrigues and confuses me because I am the type that judges myself rather than others.
My old roommate warned me that this new guy I've met is a player, she told me to avoid him, which I ignored, being intrigued by the idea of being friends with a so labeled player. It would be a new experience and having never known a player before I would be given a chance to observe a new manner of actions. Which I found interesting. So I've hung out with this kid a few times (I'm not sure why I refer to everyone as kid, some are older than me, and I've been told it makes me sound old, but it's just the way I think) and now I am definitely intrigued. His thought processes are so different from my own. I almost wish I could dive into his mind, for just a short while and examine up close what makes him think the way he does.
And so it is, I don't judge them for being a player, to which he has admitted he is, nor do I judge him for anything he may have done before. I may tease him and mock him, but if at any point I sense that he may be taking it as judgments on my part I will do my best to stop, which could be difficult seeing as how I am a teasing person. But even so I will respect him to the best of my abilities.
I hope that someday I will be able to become even less judgmental than I am, because although I try myself I sometimes catch myself making snappy judgments without knowing the person. And as I work to avoid judging others I hope that others will recognize what they're losing as they judge those around them and join me in attempting to create a world without unjust judgments.
