Have you ever judged someone? No worries, we all have at some point in life. It's not uncommon for people to judge. In fact, you might be doing it right now. You might've already formed an opinion about me. If you have then chill because I'm cool with all that. I'm past that phase in life where I used to be worried about what everyone thinks and feels about me. It an absolute waste of time and energy. If you're still with me then spare a few more minutes because I'm going to let you in on some of the best-kept secrets that might just blow you away when it comes to the Judgmental mindest.

The first thing that I'd like to get right off the bat is to never base your belief about someone on one distinct phase in his or her life. Let's introduce a hypothetical character called "Jack". Jack might seem to be a rude and arrogant person but that's because his parents are getting divorced. If you don't know the person well enough, then it's best for you to steer clear off them for a couple of months or try to understand them better once they start socializing. Should you pick the second option then you need to be ready to face some music. People like Jack aren't going to be open about their lives and it's more likely that he's going to push you away.

The next thing that you need to know is that the human brain acts like a notebook. It takes notes about people and makes you judge people in a certain way. Try and keep that Shakespeare on a tightrope. I'm sorry but let's bring Jack back. Your brain might jot down words like "Mean" and "Self-Centered" but maybe he isn't that person at all. Maybe he doesn't talk to people because he thinks he might get hurt or he might hurt them. Not self-centered at all. Lonely, if anything else. One of the bane's of texting is the fact that it's hard for us to relay our feelings. You might be asking for a bit of personal space but your friend thinks that you're annoyed. And because of that, your friend's brain has already scribbled down "Jerk". This isn't fair. Judging individuals over text might just be the most awful thing.

Now don't get me wrong and assume that I'm trying to defend the real JERKS out there. I'm not. All I'm trying to say is that you need to keep an open mind before forming opinions about people you don't know anything about. How many more High School Movies and T.V shows do we need to convey the same message? Yet, we still continue to do this. Why?

I don't have the answer to that question yet, but I can say with assurance that if you give people a chance they can be more than what they are. Humans are puzzling species but all we need is a chance to be better. No one is nobler than he who gives the chance, he who keeps an open mind and who doesn't judge without reason. For once, let's all just stop hating on people and try and understand them. Who knows, maybe we might finally find that one piece that seemed all but lost.
