Nobody Is Perfect

          One of the things that differentiates United States from India is that you have wide variety of options to choose from, even if you want to buy yogurt. You have plain, flavored, not-fat and the normal ones, needless to mention that there are legion of flavors to choose from. I wondered how many can go for flavored as opposed to the plain yogurt. But then I thought that there are people who like it, who just want to try it, who tempt kids to have it by bribing with his/her favorite flavor and so on. Isn't it possible to manage without those kind of options like we do it back home!? Then I realized that even we have flavored lassi.

          In a world composed of people with different IQ, EQ and SQ how do you make friends that are very near to our heart ? How do you find people that we love beyond words can express ? Sometimes, we even have reason(s) to not like people if not hate them. How does it happen ? May be we like something  or few things in a person and decide that rest doesn't matter. Or even conclude otherwise. It is as if our brain is executing a well-defined and structured algorithm giving an output that dictates our action. All this happens without our knowledge.

          We come across new people every day. Few stick with us forever, few for not so long and few don't. this is not a criterion to decide whether a person is good or bad because there really isn't a good or a bad person and all that we think is relative. Really, nobody is good or bad but one might jump to that conclusion keeping him as a threshold. When this is the case, how justified is it to judge or comment on others ? Also I feel it is despicable to transfer the baggage of judgement, on someone or something, to others that might actually love those traits. I said judging is bad but are we allowed to have an opinion on others ? If yes, can we impose it on others ? Well, I will leave let you think about this.

          There is a fine line between opinion and judgement. My point is that I have no right to judge anyone and even if I do it is imperative to keep it to myself. I should work on changing my opinion about that someone. If successful I will have a friend for life and if not I will just move on without passing further judgement. I might say having assorted choices of yogurt is a little overboard but before declaring that, I should make sure that I don’t like lassi! This makes life much more interesting and tension free. We all are familiar with the quote "don't judge me until you've walked in my shoes'. Let us try to implement it and only to make ours and other's lives better.
