Do You Judge?

[als463]

In various threads, we talked about people who judge others, or certain situations based on their own experiences. Some of us (as discussed in another thread) may question where someone attended college-if they attended college-or whether or not they were Greek, in order to judge whether or not they are "good people" or "like us."

Some of us judge people on whether or not they have the same religious beliefs as us. Others judge based upon race or socioeconomic status. Some people base their dating prospects on what they find suitable in a partner. What do you judge? We all do it. I talked about wanting to make this into a thread. We should try and not judge eachother for our beliefs. So, what makes you judge others?

I will start.

While at my military training school, a guy in my platoon walked up to me as I was sitting on a bench and he said to me, "Do you want to read my Satan bible?" I was stunned. I didn't even know something like that existed. While I was curious and thought it might be interesting to check it out (not because I believe in praying to Satan-or whatever they do), I was in fear I would upset God. Therefore, I stopped even talking to that kid in my platoon because he freaked me out. Was it right? Maybe not. I was only 19 and had never left my small town, which is 98% white.

I've told my boyfriend over and over again that I am happy he is educated. I watched both of my parents struggle with paying bills as I grew up and I thought I would never want to deal with that as an adult. I chose to go to college and would find it hard not dating someone who was not college educated. Granted, it is shoved down a teenager's throat that college opens doors to TONS OF MONEY, that is not always the case. I am just set in that way. I do have friends, however, who are not college educated.

Thoughts?
