Are humans really different? *Are we different? I mean humans, do we have differences? Isn't it just the usual human thing to criticize people when life is rough and praise them when they are doing great?* *Isn't it the human thing to think we are better than some humans because of the path they choose to walk on, would we have done better or live a life better than theirs if we were in their shoes?* *I thought about this today after this funny experience that happened and it made me ask if humans are different from one another?* *I feel like we easily speak shit about people for doing things that we know are improper but would we have done any better if we were in their shoes?* *Many of us are what we are because life is at least fair to us, if things were terrible would you have still been the same person you are?* Pardon me for asking too many questions, I wouldn't want us to read this as an article. I would love a discussion type of reading so that you can tell in detail your opinion in the comment section.
I am in no way supporting terrible acts or promoting habits we all know are bad, this is just my thoughts in words. We see a lot of things in the social world, the world has gone wild so as the people in it and it is ridiculous how quick we are to judge them. Some time ago, someone started a discussion about Regina Daniel, she said she was in a relationship with Mr. Ned because of the money he has. Yeah, who wouldn't condemn the act of a young girl who chooses to marry someone old enough to be her grandfather? I shared my opinion, "*it's was a terrible thing for me. She had a boyfriend who was dreaming about a perfect future together with her, she broke his heart just for material things.* *It means she never even loved him, she wouldn't have left in a blink if she did".* Those were my thoughts but do they matter, everyone has their life to live, and whatever we think about them is just our problem because while we are thinking it was wrong to have done a particular thing, they have millions of reasons to do it. Let's look at it from this angle, what if that was her destiny. What if her boyfriend won't eventually marry her are the end? What if that was how life has programmed her life to be? What if she did it for a bigger cause that wasn't open to the public? What if marrying that old man was what gave her happiness? The point is that it is very easy for us to criticize people because we aren't in their shoes but the truth is that, many of us criticizing them would do twice and some are doing worse but will spill rubbish because they aren't exposed yet. Last night, the boyfriend of the lady who condemned the act many months ago beeped me, he said I wouldn't believe that his girl was cheating on him with a man old enough to her father. I was shocked, he narrated what happened and it sounded unbelievable to me but I couldn't say anything more than for him to be careful because things might not be what it was. It is hard to judge someone to be a cheat by just reading their chat. I am not surprised, the only shock was that I never expected it from someone who criticize others for doing the same thing she did. It could be anyone tomorrow, life is tricky and sometimes we find ourselves in situations that leave us a 50 - 50 chance of doing what previous victims did. There is no point in criticizing people, everyone will bear the consequences of whatever they are doing in life. There is no one living a perfect life, we all at a point have done things we weren't proud of but sometimes we have no choice and in some situations, there are choices but we choose the shorter routes to get out of it. A lot of things about life are complicated, life shows itself to us from different angles and we mustn't criticize others because we are seeing the perfect side of life. I know a girl who hawks rice in the morning, she goes to school in the afternoon and works in a factory at night. Would you tell me there are other ways she can't make money instead of going through all those stress? There are but she made her choose to go through the long progress while some don't see it that way. Whichever decision everyone decides to take in life shouldn't be a problem, it's their life and you should respect that.

Every ones as the right to decide for him/her either it’s the good of the bad she knows. Human really criticize human when things isn’t smooth, today I can’t imagine psg fan booing Messi today. Ohhh I feel pained for that.
You must be a Messi fan, that's isn't fair of him.
Well, just as you have said, every man has his own reasons for his decision. Even though it is in all humans to criticize instead of keeping quiet but still we should never judge a book by its cover. The truth is that we can do many more of it if we were in their shoes. Everyone should mind their businesses and never condemn anyone without listening to their side of the story.
That's right. It is human nature, we want to be heard, we want to share our opinion about others' way of life because we don't find it cool. Too bad, we have forgotten that no one is perfect.
We humans have a lot of different when it comes to different aspects of life, the thing we need to be the same is on how we respect each other because we are all humans.
Yeah, I agree on the fact that respecting one another is key.
Harmony in diversity!
That's really important, we should see each other as one.
Indeed, my friend :)
One of the reason why I don't like judging or criticizing someone when they do something I feel isn't right is because I don't know the present state of the person at that point and they might not have a choice when they do what they did. I have also being in a situation when I did something I thought I won't be able to do, because of some conditions that is beyond my control. Everyone has a choice when it comes to how they want to live their life, so I don't see a reason why we should dictate how a person should live
That's the point bro, some situations warrant people to do something's even though we can't be in support of the things they did.
