‘Judge not lest ye be judged’

 ...or as I like to say ‘Judge lots cause you’re getting’ judged.”

 I mean let’s be real here, there’s not a single time I walk out my door that I’m not thinking something about your hair or your clothes or the shade of your nail polish. I mean you can’t really help it...you see something, you evaluate it.  It’s a natural instinct. And you know what? I’m allowed to think that your auburn is a bit to orange and that your sweatpants were nearly obscene 10lbs ago. It’s called having an opinion, you know. And I don’t have more than most, I simply have them louder. Yet somehow because sometimes my opinions are arranged as statements and those statements are uttered aloud, I’m judgy! Oh Mary Please!

You can’t honestly expect me to believe that there are people walking around the grocery store with only positive thoughts about their fellow shoppers streaming silently through their head. Someone call the Vatican, there may be a saint in the Piggy-Wiggly! No, no, no, you cannot convince me that if someone walks in front of me lookin’ a hot mess that it is not my job to report back to you fine folks, lest you one day find yourself on the verge of making a similar fashion choice. I consider it my moral obligation to prevent you from falling victim to acts of idiocy that will find you being mocked in the produce department.

And it wasn’t until recently that everybody got up-in-arms about being “judged.” Must be part of this whole “Gen-Y-I-got-a-medal-for showing-up” thing that’s got everybody getting their feelings hurt over the slightest little nothing.  What on earth does it matter to you if I don’t like your door wreath, or I think you’re parenting style has resulted in highly obnoxious children? I don’t have to like them, they’re not my kids. And I know people must have things to say about things I do or say or wear, and are smirking behind my back in their assumed superiority.  But I can tell you with total certainty that it makes no nevermind to me what those people think because I have already judged them and found them lacking.

It really is time for folks to get over this “don’t judge me” crap and face the reality that the world is going to have an opinion of everything you do so just make sure you’re doing what you want to be doing and tell everyone else to take a flying leap!
