Why do we as a society feel the need to judge???
I've been pondering this question all day today whilst in my world of cleaning and dealing with a sick child.
The question came about when I got thinking about comments that have been made to me over the last week.
MIL kept making comments about how she feels DH treats me badly, and my parents are continually on about weight - everyones not just mine. The first comment out of their mouth when I saw them was about how so and so had put on so much weight. And for the record, I don't believe that DH treats me badly - we have our arguments and disagreements like any couple (and maybe MIL thinks this is common because she only sees us every 3 months).
But it got me thinking, what gives us the right to judge others on so many areas of life? Is it because it makes us feel good about ourselves? Is it that its easier to point out someone elses flaws than face that of our own?
I'm certainly guilty of judging others and in cases have been very wrong, i'm sure we all have. I'm certainly more careful now than I have been in the past, though I also think on some level, we all do it. "look at what is in xyz's shopping trolley", "look at what that kid is wearing, how can the parent let them wear that?" and of course there are the debates we see every day breast v's bottle, vax v's non vax.
But really, where did we get this sense of entitlement and need to judge others???
Don't really know if there is a point to this post, just curiousity and the fact there are no adults here to talk to LOL
