Judging humanity  | |  Yesterday (November 5) twelve people were killed when a gunmen open-fired in a building in Fort Hood, Texas. The reports included the law enforcement officer who was able to shoot the alleged attacker, and also about the attacker's history. But this post is not about that. It's about the comments left by others on some of the stories.
One report informed us that the attacker was called a non-politically correct label of a Muslim, though I don't recall how often by how many. Since he is a Major, I hope it was not officers routinely calling him that, and I can't imagine non-commissioned officers doing that to an officer.
The comments that were left in response to this story were full of anger, even at the news agency reporting of the name-calling, saying that they were excusing the action. I didn't read that anywhere in the story, it was just reporting that particular fact.
There were comments made about those who follow Islam, how the accused attacker ought to be locked up for life; it wasn't until the 15th post (the last one by the time I got to the article) that there was a civil poster, who not only left a note of sympathy for the victims, but also noted about the stresses of military life, how it can't be known how it affects individuals.
Looking at myself, I have had incidents that made me judge others as less than me, with their anger and need to entertain themselves with unkind conversations, but it just came into my awareness that I am just as judgmental; with loud talkers, those who use obscenity or race/religion-hate words, and yes, those others who judge others, be it me as the victim or others.
Can a person prevent oneself from judging others? I think it will be a worthy goal.

I try not to judge people for whatever reason, but there are times that i fail. Also, alot of times people make hasty judgements, before they know the whole story. I was always taught there are always two sides to every story, and they may not even be the truth. I don't think we can prevent othrs from judging, but we can try to prevent ourselves from judging others. I think one way to do that is to ask ourselves the question, what would we do in the other persons shoes.

| | 2.  pergammano (1992) | 1 month ago |  Growing up with a peace-loving Father, disparity & judgment was not part of my environment! A sign over our door said "walk a mile in my mocassins," so until I ventured into the real world, I live a pretty cacooned life...and was shockingly awakened at the animosity & judgment in reality! I buffered by retaliating...and soon learned...I became the masses. I tempered, learned from my past...and now question deeply, before I judge! I truly am a "time out" person, now, and it really has reduced my stressors in life.
Very good points you have made here...and it truly is a worthy goal! Cheers!
