In my eighteen and soon to be nineteen years of existence, I have met a lot of people who have different types of personalities. Some are good, kind hearted, loving people, some are greedy, boastful, too proud, arrogant.. and judgmental.. People who think they know everything.
I admit, I too, have judged others wrongly. Nobody's perfect. And nobody's clean. But that's why we have the so called, "learning from mistakes."
Yes, we all have judged others wrongly, but we too, have felt how it feels being judged, especially by the people who does not even know the real you.
My hearts goes out for those people who does not know how it's done.
In all the problems I have encountered in my life, the very thing that I do not understand the most, and probably the very thing that for so long I am wanting to find the answer, is to why some people never get tired of judging, gossiping and falsely, telling lies about others?
There are a lot of answers. Some, are insecure. Some, are fooled. And some.. it's in their nature.
Think about how you would feel if you're being misjudged by others? Think about how it feels if someone's spreading lies and and scandalous statements about you?
Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.
What hurts most, is when the people whom you thought should know most about you, are the ones who talk behind your back. The ones whom you thought you could trust the most, are the ones who would crush you down.
Always remember, that people have stories behind their past. Each and every one of us have stories that are never told, being kept and bound to be kept to ourselves. Before you judge others, think first if you really know his/her story. The real story.
You might not even realize, that the things you thought you disliked or hated about a certain person, are that things that you do the most. You may not realize, that you might be blaming others to hide your own faults? That you're the one who's supposed to get ashamed?
Wag mong ipakita na kawawa ka.
If I could tell that to your face every day, I would.. just for you to wake up!
And most of all, ang sarap niyong tawanan.. Coz most of the time, you will never realize, that people whom you share your false statements to, might be laughing at you behind your back, because it's funnnier to hear lies.. when we ourselves already know the truth. So, the point is..
Stop judging others, if you don't even know the whole truth!

It feels so good to have spoken out what's inside my heart for a long time. Haha! When I started writing, I was referring to a specific group of people, but then.. it felt like pwede rin siya for a lot of people I know. Haha. Anyway, if natamaan ka, sorry, but the good thing that I hope will be.. is that.. I hope you learned something. Yun lang. Thanks for reading. :)
