LJ Idol-Topic 2-Uphill, both ways, barefoot

People, as a whole, are very good at complaining…me included, of course. But at the same time, we’re even better at judging. When your friends say they have it bad, you can always manage to think of how you have it worse. When my brother was killed in March, all I could think was, NOW I really do have it that bad. There’s no way that people can say ( Read more... )

I second as well, we can't judge other people's battles and their issues, everyone has to deal with life in different perspectives, etc.

Great perspective on the topic!

I love this. I had a friend that no matter what you said or how bd you had it, they had it worse and could tell you about it. Honestly, we should stop trying to out do others on how bad we got it and just show kindness for the bad things they do have going on.

I am glad you can think of some good things even after such a horrible experience.

"Who am I to judge their battles?"

This is an excellent point--something everyone should keep in mind. It's not easy, especially when you see people freaking out over stupid things, but when it comes right down to it, everyone has had to go through something difficult in their lives, even if you don't know about it. I've had to keep this in mind myself. I had a horrible childhood in a lot of ways, which still affects me today, but I've met people who had it worse. I knew one girl in high school who'd been raped by her father when she was a small child. I wouldn't have been able to guess it because she was always cheerful and her biggest problem seemed to be the fact someone had stolen her last tube of lipstick in the locker room.

*Hugs* Thanks for sharing this.
