Why must we continue to criticize or judge others when the choices they make don't fit with our ideals? Rather than criticize, question the choice; you may learn something. Isn't asking a question better than making a judgement? Perhaps the choice made was due to lack of information or knowledge. Maybe the choice made was out of fear. Or just maybe, at that moment, there were no other options. We've all had to make hard choices. I don't know anyone who could say every choice they've made has been the correct choice. We all know we've made choices that we regret or that we are not proud of. And we know that it feels bad to be judged because of those choices. Yet we continue to cast judgement on others.
Rather than hurting others with our actions and words, let's work to help one another make better or different choices. Even in a 'perfect' world, not everyone's choices will match ohter's ideals. Educate the less educated. Love the unloved. Help the helpless. Because I struggle with this too, this is my help - Matthew 7: 1-2
