Perspective

Matthew 7:1-5 

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

       While thinking of what I could write about this quote, I realized, stating my opinion is making a judgement. I am sitting here, writing a blog about why people should not judge a person on their appearance, but while doing so, I am judging what others say. The fact is, everyone judges, but how they go about it is what makes it wrong. A lot of people make judgements based off of what they see and what they hear instead of going off of what they know. That person knows the other person has feelings. That the person has their own problems. The person knows that he or she may have a conflict going on in their life. That the person may be in a relationship, or even that the person does not have many friends. But still, without a care in the world, states their judge-mental opinion publicly about he or she. In hopes to get a laugh? To become more "popular"? Does it make a person feel better about themselves by putting others down? With whatever excuse that person is using, not one of them is good enough.
