Unnecessary Critics


The things you say about other's defines you, not them.

Examples of teenager's posts in 2014:

"If you're 19 and married I'm judging you."

"If you listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving I'm judging you."

"If you tweet scriptures I'm judging you."

"If you like your own selfies I'm judging you."

"If you're a girl who wears a crop top, you're a slut and I'm judging you."

If someone wants to have their boyfriend as their MCM or their girlfriend as their WCW every week, let them. If it bothers you that someone's snapchat story is 1,000 seconds long then delete them. If someone wears twice the makeup you'd ever wear don't worry about it because it shouldn't concern you. How selfish is it that we sit here and complain about other's expressing themselves when it has no effect on us. May I remind you that you do not have to see what other's have to say because the world has evolved into a place where you can unfollow, delete, block, and completely avoid a person no matter who they may be.

We sit here and tell people to be themselves, but the second they step away from what we consider correct we begin to criticize them. We should stop being so concerned with correcting others and start correcting ourselves. 

(I realize this seems contradictory because I am suggesting people to stop criticizing others while I'm criticizing the critics. Critiquing to make the world better is okay, criticizing because we're ignorant to others is not okay. My intention is to help other's view the unnecessary degrading that is happening. What I'm trying to say is there are BIGGER problems then someone posting twenty selfies a day or wearing something that went out of style years ago and we should be focused on those issues.
But again, I'm just stating my perspective through my opinions which I expect others to do whole heartedly. If you disagree with what I've said I don't expect you to keep it to yourself.)

I just ask people to change for the better & to look at life through more than one perspective. Most importantly I ask that we only say things about others if we would like them said about ourselves.
