Imagine, a fifteen year old girl walking, carrying her one year old child with her, and the people around were saying, "She deserves that!" "She's just a sl*t!" Without knowing that she was raped by some random guy. Imagine, a guy carrying crutches because of his leg being cut. The people were laughing at him, teasing him, and calling him disabled, without knowing that he had an accident where made him like that. Imagine, a person who had a large scar on the face and physically unfit were people calling him/her "ugly", without knowing that he/she was losing his/her self-esteem or confidence. And imagine, a person whose having a lot of tattoos on his/her body. People were saying, "He/she is an addict", without knowing that he/she suffered from a depression and putting a tattoo is his/her way to divert his/her attention.

Yes, I say to you, "Imagine!" Imagine, how judgemental kind of person "we" are. Can you admit that to yourself? Have you ever imagine how hard it is to be treated unlikely to the society where you live? That everytime you woke up in bed and look at yourself in front of the mirror, you will suddenly think and ask, "why it is happening?" Even you know in yourself that you are worthy enough to be treated with respect but then you just realized, "Am I really worthy of it?"

I admit that to myself. I am a Judgemental. I easily judge other people without knowing the whole story and without knowing their real motives. And at some time, it leads to an embarrassing moment which I didn't expected to ever happened in my life. There was one time, I went into a grocery store and I saw a guy whose staring at me like he's gonna do something bad. I should say, he's kind of cute but duh, looking at me like that? No way! I kept on looking the price tags of some products but I am really distracted. I saw the guy called the sale lady and whispered her. The sale lady approached me whispered me saying,

"Excuse me Ma'am, you have a stain in back part of your pants. Would you mind covering it with your jacket or with your sling bag?"

Like, "What?" I really felt embarrassed. Luckily I wore my mask, but I bet that guy already knows who I am. Actually, that stain was not because I had my period, it was because I accidentally sit on a wet chair. (Not the entire chair though. Just a drop. I had a lunch with my parents at a barbeque stall at that time. Maybe I was just really confident that it already dried out.)"Aigoo, my bad!"

See? I didn't just misjudged that guy, I even made myself look embarrassed. I just pretended that everything was fine. I covered my pants with my jacket and then focused myself on putting the groceries in the basket. Right after that, I immediately went to the cashier's section and then left the store. (Yan ang napapala nang mga Judgers! Lol. XD)

We Filipinos have this trendy quote, "Pag inggit, pikit!" I often heard this line in some of the Tiktok contents I watched, especially in some of the famous influencers of that social media platform. "Bakit ang hilig-hilig nating mang-judge?" "Is it really necessary to do that?" I even asked myself, "Am I that envious?" But NO! I bash someone if and only if, "kapuna-puna na din naman talaga yung nakikita ko." I admit that. There are just times that I imagine myself to be in that situation, especially those I have mentioned earlier in first paragraph. "What if I am in their situation?" "Ikasasaya ko ba na pinag-pi-pyestahan ako nang mga tao sa paligid." May it intentional or not, "Judging others is not a good thing." You may say, "No to body shaming" or whatsoever but the mere fact that you "think" of something bad against that certain person, you still committed a sin of misjudging that person. "What's more if we post it on social media?" (Ang dami pa namang Marites dun.) We never know what that person went been through. And I came into a big realization, if I keep on doing that thing over and over again, I will just then describe my own self. It feels like I am degrading myself too. And its not just hit me, it eventually hurt me. We should always remember this, over and over again, "Only God can Judge us!"

"Its not too late to change for the better. I mean, US!" ^_^

One of my virtues is to ignore those things, everyone lives as he/she likes, as long as he/she maintains his/her environment. Sometimes tattoos catch my attention, I have seen some beautiful ones, but there are others that I wonder what happened to this person to get something so ugly?, but I leave it there and continue. They may be judging me in a thousand ways, but I'm on my way and I hope they are happy to gossip. Haha

Okay lang man mag criticize sa usa ka butang or sa tao pero dapat in a positive way, not to the point na halos tanan nalang pakialaman in a negative way, kay toxic na jud kaayo na nga style.

If you wrote about it, it means it exists in our lives. Yes, it's a shame to admit it, but it exists. And it will be! Everyone discusses everyone at every turn without knowing anything about that person. There are even cartoons on these topics, about how grannies sitting at the porches sharpen their angry tongues about every passerby. The only way out is to ignore them.

Indeed my dear. As for me, I'll just ignore or keep my mouth shut regarding the issues which is not my concern. So, I'm hoping that everything I wrote in this article will come. May not this time, but hopefully, it will, someday.. Tts good to feel that we live a peaceful kind of life everyday..

True. What people see in others especially their faults is actually their reflection. We become what we see in others. And also what we say about others is what we are in the reality. What we are mad about someone's asset is something that we can't have. Being insecure and judgmental doesn't make us successful and accomplish great things in life. So we should be vigilant and we must guard our mouths not to say bad things to other people.

Ako sanay na mahusgahan ng ibang tao.As I was a single mom for 13 years bago ako nkapag asawa .Lagi kong naririnig ang mga chismis nila sakin.Okay lang naman basta ako lang wag na nila isama pa ang anak ko.Lately lang sa lugar ng husband ko andaming mapanghusga.Bago sana nila ako husgahan eh kinilala muna nila ako.Kaso they judge me base lang sa mga naririnig nila sa ibang tao.Buti nalang di ako ngpapa affect sa kanila.Bahala sila basta ako wala akong inaapakang tao

I remember so many relatives of mine haha. It's already 2021 but they're still stucked to being judgemental without even knowing the real reasons behind. Dati judgemental din ako pero sa utak ko lang at never ko shinashare sa iba, pero ngayon mas lumawak na yung pangunawa ko sa lahat. Like hindi natin pwedeng pagsabihan ang isang tao na makasalanan, magnanakaw, mamamatay tao kung yung kasalanan pala na yun ay hatid lamang ng pagmamahal niya sa iba o sa sarili nya. Hindi talaga dapat manghusga basta basta.

This is true....My father used to say, dont condemn that man, you never walked in his shoes. Even though we think that someone had done bad or they had exhibited some unconventional behaviors, judging their actions would not change them, it might even make things worse.. We should always try to show love and understanding
