Judgement

I pretend not to be presumptuous. To be open minded, to consider all sides to each matter.
I pretend not to judge other people for not looking at things in that same way.
I pretend that it’s a well thought through choice to still hang out with people even though some or a lot of their values differ from mine.
I pretend to be some goddamn saint, welcoming in everybody who wants in, and always being there to flip the coin for others, so they can see the other side.

I pretend not to judge, not to label, not to feel superior to others…

But maybe, me feeling sorry for other people who don’t think like me, is presumptuous, judgemental, a sign of my own weakness to make a good choice and stick by it, and proof of how unholy I actually am.

Maybe I do just feel superior to others because I’m what you’d call enlightened?? Sure I come up with quotes the dalai lama would envy, but I’m so aware of it it’s ugly and it takes away the value of the things I say.

I’m not a saint, I don’t know it all, I don’t have all the answers and I DO judge people.

I’m an ordinary person, just like the rest.
