Judgey McJudgerson

For one, I wasn’t planning on blogging today, nor was I planning on doing any actual thinking. It’s 2:40 pm and I’m still in my pj’s too lazy to go upstairs and even grab my phone. I really can’t believe it’s New Years already and did I mention that Doug kept me up til 4am because he wanted to hang out with a friend? I feel like I have a pregnancy hangover. Is that possible? Well, I am proof that it is and it blows. Pregnant chicks, yea we need our sleep and regular sleep at that. For this blog, I just want to talk about something that has kind of bothered me on Social Media and I just can’t seem to get it off my mind.

People’s opinions about all sorts of other peoples opinions

Did that make sense to you? Probably not, because I just read it and was like huh? But hear me out. Yesterday I was reading through the good ole FB news feed and saw some posts from people who either are for Donald Trump or not, who hate network marketers or not, who hate abortion, who hate Democrats, who hate immigrants… blah blah blah the list goes on and on. It seems social media can be a place to rant about what we hate and how we are going to judge one another by our own personal opinions and I HATE IT.

I felt obliged to post on someones wall who said to remove yourself if you try to sell them anything or if you like Donald Trump. I mean, I’ve talked to lots of people about how oils have changed my life, but am I holding a gun to your head telling you to buy from me? Nope. Same thing when you tell me about some random product or food that you like. Yes, the difference here is that I will make money if you buy from me so I guess to you, I’m selling you something by telling you I used it myself and I like it. Whatevs, I’m not trying to sell to you. But when I tell you how my check last month was $995.00 bucks, will you look at it a bit differently and think “man, how can I make that too?” Anyways, I’m a firm believer that if you like something, you will buy it on your own and will do your own research on it with or without me telling you I like it.

Anywho, my point here is, if I like Donald Trump or if I like Hilary Clinton, that’s my choice, not yours. Stop judging me or anyone around you if they don’t feel the same way as you do. If you support abortion or don’t stop making this some biblical talk in that your opinions are better than someone else’s because your religious beliefs somehow trump others opinions. I HATE that approach. Look at me, I’m being a hypocrite and am judging others for judging. But ya know the difference here, I respect your opinion to support or not support whatever YOU CHOOSE to support and I am not going to place my judgments on you for not believing in what I believe.

Same goes with being pregnant. Everyone believes you should do things the way THEY did when THEY were pregnant. Stop telling me how to be pregnant, what to eat, how to give birth, what I should do when I give birth and all the ins and outs of that. Yes, I want to learn from mistakes and from your trials and tribulations, but please don’t put anything on me to behave the way YOU want.

Just stop it folks.

All I want is for you to be happy with your opinions and respects others’. Have a good educated debate and respect the others’ opinions. Don’t secretly condemn them for being different than you.

And with that note, let’s start off this New Years with an open and clean slate to the diversity around us and respect and love one another for who they are…

END RANT

  1. That is just excellent!

    You’re absolutely correct!

    We all need to respect each others opinions. It’s kind of like we have to agree to disagree and get on with life.

    Happy New Year to one and all!

  2. Laugh at yourself more. And others, laugh at them ,it is sad that judgements are so prevalent, but there is a gift of growth and change in them. I hate them ,but sometimes i learn from them. My thoughts today. And I love you,,I hope you get to be pregnant in your style,you are right everyone will now give you opinions( will be worse one baby is here), but you are strong enough to sort and choose what works for you. Be you,just be.
