Instead of judging someone,
calling them slut or whore or dumbass or jerk or whatever,
isn’t it easier to tell yourself you simply don’t understand their lifestyle and let it go?
I’m something I used to dislike,
only because I used to be ignorant.
And now I understand.
People have different lives and different upbringings,
make different choices, like different things; to each and everyone of them
their decisions are just as justified as yours are to you.
Next time you call someone a bad word,
remember that there is someone out there who’s just as willing
to judge you for what you do because they don’t know you.
Then you complain about judgmental people?
No one wants to be a bad person, honestly,
but they’re deemed so by people who don’t understand them.
No one.
Furthermore, people are governed by emotions most of the time,
just as much as you are yourself,
so try walking in someone else’s shoes for once.
Strong emotions almost always hinder rationality,
just because you are more sober than someone at a given time
doesn’t mean you’re any better at handling things.
I need to remember this,
even if I’m not making sense,
even if none of this is true.
Because so far it’s working and
I’m beginning to empathize with everyone around me better.
Long way to go, though.
Long way to go.
Ello, the name’s Sherena.
