Something inspirational:

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect - and I don't live to be - but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!”

  1. Exactly! This is so true. People should look at themselves before judging others. They don't know what the other person has been through or going through.

    When you point your finger at someone there are three fingers pointing back at you.

  2. Yes so many people tend to be judgmental of others without having any clue of who they really are and why they do the things that they do. Two things actually come to mind: 1. Judge not lest ye be judged! and 2. You can't judge a book by it's cover!

    I know I'm guilty of judging people myself at times but I at least try to put myself into their shoes for a few moments now.

    1. I agree with you Randy. We must always try to put ourselves in other people's shoes before we comment on how they live their lives.

      No one really knows what someone else will go through until they have lived their life. It's wrong to stand in judgment of anyone.

  3. I was just thinking a similar thought this morning while watching the news, 'He who is without sin, cast the first stone.'

    Bob Marley is right. We must be careful not to judge others for their actions unless we have walked a few years in the person's shoes we are judging.

    1. Thanks Tim. I agree with everything you say. All I would say is, 'to judge is to be judged!' Things have a way of catching up with us when we least expect it.
