Why are we so ready to sit in judgment?>

I continue to struggle to understand and comprehend the concept that some individuals, groups and media have assumed to have the right to sit in judgment of others. To the extent that not only political, lawful and financial garnishment is pursued but also insults, physical harm and character assignation.

If you do not think as we think, you are wrong and we will make you think as we do. Is this tolerance? Inclusion? Or something more horrific than what it seems?

I see this in individuals, our political groups, celebrities, and even our print-network media as content is selectively made and tone tainted. All are judgmental and intolerant. Why does anyone have to relent and conform to the standards of others?

Sitting in judgment of others … who might anyone of these individuals or groups perceive themselves to be? I thought this was reserved for someone or something that has a much larger "footprint" and a much higher "pay grade" than ANY of us humans.

How about this idea, None of us try to force the other to change or to be judged, or garnish the money of each other to accomplish our individual objectives. Everyone does not have to conform to a single line of thought. Quit trying to force all hearts and minds into a singularity. If you believe social or economic issues exist, gather the like minded and their financial assets together and address the issue. Leave the different minded folks alone.

Let's check the outcome. Issues addressed, No political footballs, No labeling, No change required. Where's the problem with this?

Ask yourself if you are sitting in judgment of others? Live and let live. Be happy making your choices, but also allow everyone else to do the same.
