IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, THEN YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL

Ok, so, Im completely new to this whole blogging thing.  It doesnt make very much sense to me that anyone would care at all about anything that i have to say if they dont actually know me, but, occasionally, i do have something to say, so i suppose this is as good a place as any to say it.  At least here i cant really offend anyone i know...

I guess I'll start by touching on something that has been bothering me lately.

I am so unbelievably tired of people feeling the need to judge everyone around them.  Everyone judges - and that's ok, because it is human nature, but keep it to yourselves people!!  No one wants to hear the snide comment that you want to make about the guy over there, or the ignorant obnoxious opinion that you have about that chick you met the other day...NO ONE CARES!!  If you have a problem with someone - with the way they look, or the way they act, or with something they did - then that's entirely your problem. Not their's.  Everyone needs to stop putting their own shit on everyone else.  Aside from it making the self-proclaimed judge look stupid and unduely arrogant, any judgements made are most often simply wrong.  There are too many variables that go into a persons actions, decisions, etc. for an outsider to be able to know what is really going on there.  People tend to make judgements based on themselves.  ie, If you would not do that thing, then no one should do that thing.  But that is blatently unfair.  You wouldnt do that thing because you dont want to, or because you dont need to, or because the opportunity never presented itself to you.  At least one of those things are obviously untrue for someone who does do that thing, and so your judgement is pointless right from the jump.

What Im trying to say, is that it is literally impossible to make a proper and complete judgement of someone else without knowing all the facts - and knowing what the facts would be for you, were you in their shoes, is not even close to good enough.  Nor is genuinely believing that you know the person well enough to really know what's going on in their head.  Because i guarantee you - you dont.  They probably dont even know everything going on in their own mind, even if they think they do, so you sure as hell dont.

One thing i find myself saying more often then I'd like to, is the title of this entry - "If you dont know absolutely everything, then you dont know anything at all."  Everything you think you know about someone is really just an illusion of sorts until you know every last tiny little detail about them; Until you know things about them that they dont even know. No matter how irrelevant you think a detail is, it still does factor into whatever it is on which you are passing judgement.  We are all comprised of our details. Our actions are all comprised of ourselves as a whole, and by extension, of our details. Nothing about who we are, or the decisions that we make is completely irrelevent. It all factors in in some way. That is what makes Human Beings so complex and fascinating. That should be embraced, and admired - It shouldn't be used to look down upon anyone. Ever.

So before you pass judgement on anyone/anything out loud,  and run the risk of pissing me off, always keep in mind that there is definately more to whatever you are about to judge than you think there is. The fact that you dont see it, doesnt mean that it's not there. I assure you, it is there.
