Judge me, & I judge you.

There are lots of things that I don’t like about our Omani society. But what I truly despise is how judgmental people can be. To be honest, I was judgmental myself, but that was almost five years back, when I realized that I don’t even know the person well nor do I know the reason he was acting the way he acts. & that I was drawing a picture in my mind according to what I hear from people, which was probably one of my life’s biggest mistakes.

In our society, rumors are quickly spread, & people believe anything they want to believe, even if deep down they know that there’s a chance that it isn’t true, but that doesn’t stop them from carrying on instead of confirming what they hear. I mean, seriously people! Why not to confer & personally make sure about something before talking about it? That would have made things much better.

What also bugs me is to judge someone according to their family. I know most of us believe that every person’s behavior is nothing but a reflection of the person’s family, and I’m not saying its wrong, but it doesn’t always work that way, & to me, everybody is an individual & that’s the way I’d prefer to judge most of the time. I also want to point out that we should never judge someone according to what has happened in the past, because firstly we are living the present! Plus, people grow up & learn from life & some do change to the better. Again, we are living the present!

Anyway, no matter what happens, no matter what we hear, after all, we are all humans & we do mistakes. So let’s give everyone a chance to once speak out for themselves & right the wrongs instead of making their life miserable because of our judgment.
