opinion v. judgment

It always amuses me how people who barely know me offer their advice on how I should conduct myself.

It's one thing to question other people's differences, it's another to judge and assume that there is a better way.

My whole life, I have been surrounded by people who judge. Fortunately, there is also plenty of support for me to be me. Rather than accepting judgment and change myself, I always resist and question the sources of that judgment.

I also catch myself being judgmental. It actually takes more effort to judge than to accept. Going to work on giving that unconditional acceptance...
