    But what exactly is human nature? I honestly don't know what a human really is. Neither said is appealing as far as judging goes. We have to many laws and morals and religions and other bull crap its so confusing now a days. We have so much fix action on what a human should be that we don't truly understand how we are suppose to act in life. I honestly think that "human" or "human nature" is a load of bull dropings

    The typical character that all human beings share!

    That being said. Judgement is part of human nature so is imperfection!

    I freaking love you. lol

    Anyway, now that I've gotten that point out of the way heres my take on the subject.

    It's human nature to judge each other guys. In fact, sometimes it's required or unavoidable. For example what Desert said above. Without making judgements you really wouldn't be able to function because your mind is constantly making judgements in the process you take to make decisions. For example your choice in friends. Even in making your class scheduel in school. Your little subconcious mind is constantly making little judgements. And though sometimes they are negative, that doesn't make you a bad person for thinking them.

    Besides I'm reading a lot of negative comments against judgement and people who judge: It's shallow, superficial, wrong, etc... Is that not judging people who judge and judgement itself? So is judging only ok as long as it's against judgement?

    Here are a few examples of bad judgements that are good.

    I was in an abusive relationship in my early high school years. The boy showed signs of a bad temper, and needy and controlling personality, early on along with athority issues. I decided not to make judgements because I was convinced I cared about this person too much. As a result, I spent almost two years wearing extra makeup and long sleeved tee shirts and jackets to hide my boyfriends bad temper and controlling nature. Had I used better judgement at the beginning of the relationship on the boy's character, I probably wouldn't have had near as big of a problem that I did and would have been able to get out of it sooner if not having been there in the first place.

    Some friends made bad judgements on me and on my boyfriend at the time and helped me. Had it not been for judgement at that time I could have gotten into even more serious trouble. My friends didn't know him except from what they saw of him. They made judgements based on his appearence and attitude and my personality since he and I started going out. Negative Judgements: Relivant and good results.

    There are girls in my sisters class in school who she sees every day who are constantly trying to convince my sister to do things she doesnt believe in. (Sex, drugs, alcohol, gossip, etc...) My sister does not like to participate in things like that. My sisters wants to be friends with people who help her better herself and she wants to date boys who have the same beliefs as her. She knows that by hanging out with that crowd, she isn't going to find those friends that she wants. Because of this, she made a judgement of her own and though she does not look down on those girls or belittle them for the things they do that she doesn't believe in, she does not participte or be their best friend either. You can be nice to someone, even be their friend, and still make judgements.

    My next point is summed up in a quote that I know not a lot of you are going to put weight on because of the source (athiests, etc...) but it's still one that is relivant here if only for the point I'm trying to get across.

    "Let he that is without sin cast the first stone."
    -Jesus Christ.

    Though judging is normal and sometimes even helpful, dont forget that you are not perfect either. You should never put yourself above someone else because of something they are doing that you dont agree with. Judging someone or something is perfectly normal. Condeming someone based off of those judgements however is not. You are not god nor are you there mother. So to rank a person off of who they are, what they do, or what they ware is none of your business.

    The judgements that annoy me is profiling. Making serious judgements on someone else based on their skin color, religion, sexual orientation, or appearence before you even say a word to them. Theres a difference between being judgemental and having a closed mind.
