Anybody else feel this way? The more experience I have, the more I realize how special I am not, and that I cannot judge others. In my youth before I made mistakes I made, when I was sheltered from life and all different kinds of characters I have run into, I used to judge people for their flaws. But I realized sometimes shit happens, life takes to paths you never expected, you have bad days, new kinds of pressures happen upon you, and you make mistakes. You do shitty things or act like a shitty person. I realized how flawed I could be.
I've made many mistakes which I thought I would never do when I was younger and "pure." I would've shaken my head in judgement at a person who is guilty of such things. You really cannot judge others unless you've been in the exact position as they have been in life.
I'm not condoning negative behaviors of course. We should all learn from our mistakes. It doesn't mean you let people do whatever they want because "everybody makes mistakes." I avoid associating myself with destructive people but I believe in giving them chances but even if I can't I avoid reacting to them with anger or judgement. Instead of focusing on the shittiness of others, I realized it's better to focus on trying to be less shitty myself.
I guess I have less patience people who refuse to learn. I know some people who make mistakes and make excuses for themselves. I don't have time for people like that but I try to realize that they are on their own path in life and maybe they will find change at some point.
Anybody else feel the same way? I always thought I was going to be grumpier and hate people more the older I get, but it's been the opposite. I realized I could be quite shitty too so maybe I can't be judgmental of others.
