Dont judge me

Don't judge me..
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure you hands are clean!” 
― Bob Marley

“Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” 
― Robert Louis Stevenson

“Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.” 
― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of Discipleship

“It's not given to people to judge what's right or wrong. People have eternally been mistaken and will be mistaken, and in nothing more than in what they consider right and wrong.” 
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace.

“That mess about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin—that's some bullshit. Nobody has the right to judge anybody else. Period. If you ain't been in my skin, you ain't never gonna understand my character.” 
― Emily Raboteau, The Professor's Daughter: A Novel

“While you judge me by my outward appearance I am silently doing the same to you, even though there's a ninety-percent chance that in both cases our assumptions are wrong.” 



“Some people say, ‘Do not judge the book by its cover!’ Well, I say not to judge at all. People can say anything they want to say, but for me, cover does matter.” 

― Toba Beta

“As fallible humans, we usually slip too far over one edge or the other - all wrath and judgment or all grace and love.” 
― Eric Wilson, A Shred of Truth

“I've discovered that in life, it doesn't matter how good of a person you are; it's human nature to be judged and to judge others by the blood they carry and the company they keep.” 
― Mz. Robinson, The Lies 

“The hard necessity of bringing the judge on the bench down into the dock has been the peculiar responsibility of the writer in all ages of man.” 

Don't judge me, you can't handle half of what I've dealt with. There's a reason I do the things I do, there's a reason I am who I am. - Unknown.

Don't judge me. I was born to be awesome not perfect. -Unknown

Don't judge me by they mistakes i've made, but by what i've learned from them.

Don't judge me. You wanna judge me, put on a black gown and get a gavel. Get in line with the rest of them that's about to judge me. I got court dates every other month. It's me against the world - that's how I feel.
[Judge Me Quote By Author: Lil Wayne]

Judge me if you want to. And as a matter of fact, it won't even count, 'cause the only person who can judge is God. [Writer: Kelly Rowland]

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect & I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers... make sure you hands are clean!”  [Saying Writer: Bob Marley]

Don't judge anyone, Behind every person; there's always a reason why they are the 
way they are. We just can't help it. We are who we are and who we are meant to be in this life. 
- Kemmy Nola

The unexamined life is not worth living ....

The unexamined life is not worth living ....



But Socrates believed that these alternatives would rob him of the 

only thing that made life useful: Examining the world around him

 and discussing how to make the world a better place. Without his 

"examined life" there was no point in living. So he suggested that 

Athens reward him for his service to society. The result, of course, 

is that they had no alternative and were forced to vote for a 

punishment of death.

Luckily, we don't have to choose between an examined life and 

death. But the sad thing is, most people avoid leading an examined 

life. It's not that they don't have time or make time. They actively 

avoid examining their lives.

People who do examine their lives, who think about where they've 

been, how they got here, and where they're going, are much 

happier people.  

No one has all the answers. And no one's life is free from 

trouble and strife. But those who have some sense of where they 

belong in the universe also have a context for understanding how 

all the elements of their life fit together.


I've always been fascinated by Socrates' bold statement that "The unexamined life is not worth living."

He doesn't mince words. He doesn't say that the unexamined life is "less meaningful than it could be" or "one of many possible responses to human existence." He simply and clearly says it's not even worth living.

Why does he make such strong, unequivocal statement?

Socrates believed that the purpose of human life was personal and spiritual growth. We are unable to grow toward greater understanding of our true nature unless we take the time to examine and reflect upon our life. As another philosopher, Santayana, observed, "He who does not remember the past is condemned to repeat it."

Examining our life reveals patterns of behavior. Deeper contemplation yields understanding of the subconscious programming, the powerful mental software that runs our life. Unless we become aware of these patterns, much of our life is unconscious repetition.

As a psychotherapist, I see so many tragic examples of the effect of an unexamined life. I remember Melissa, a sensitive, attractive woman in her late forties who realized that a series of repetitive, doomed-from-the-beginning relationships had used up so many years of her life that it was now very unlikely that she could still manifest her dream of a husband and children of her own. I recall Donald, a caring, hard-working man who neglected his wife and family emotionally for too many years. By the time he came to see me he was divorced, depressed and living alone in an apartment.

If only Melissa and Donald had taken the time to examine and reflect upon their lives as they were living them, they could have made changes and had a different experience during their lifetime.

The good news is that it is never too late to start examining our life more thoroughly -- and to reap the rewards. Melissa never had the child she wanted but she stopped recreating her past and eventually married a loving man who helped her heal her childhood wound of a father who deserted her. It was too late for Donald to get a second chance with his wife, but he was able to build strong relationships with his children.

We all have blind spots. Sometimes when I examine a chronic problem in my life, I have that unsettling feeling that I must be missing something, but I can't quite see what it is. We try to examine ourselves, but none of us can see our own back side (our "shadow").


If there are two people, one with a map and one 

without a map, who has the better chance of 

reaching her destination? The one with the map, of 

course.

When you set aside time to examine your life,
You get to choose your destination; You get to set 

the goals;


You get to determine the path; You get to decide 

how long it will take;

You get to decide whether you're on the right pathor 

the wrong path.

In other words, you begin to know your self and to 

take control of your life. You decide who you want to 

be and begin to become the person you want to be.
