Always a terrible thing to judge

Last week, in an escalated incident that almost turned nasty for myself and my friends, I judged a group of people harshly and openly. Naturally they reacted to what I said, they were well within their rights. Things could've turned out really badly looking back on everything.

But amazingly we were able to patch things up with these strangers. I guess we were trying to be as civilized as possible, maybe we were just being adults. Maybe we were human after all.

I am glad how things eventually turned out, but the whole ordeal could've been avoided if things were said less harshly on my part. So my promise to myself and others - not to judge without taking in all the facts. Not to talk down to anyone but rather to state my position humbly and calmly, with room for disagreement. And always be willing and ready to make amends. Because we are all human and subject to mistakes. And we all have our opinion.

It is always a terrible thing to judge one another.
