Judgement Code of Ethics

Judgement. Assumptions. Intentions. Character. Language. Facial expressions. Work ethic. Social status. Motives. Patterns.

Something I have always had an issue with. All of those words up there? Notice anything they have in common? Yup. Something that everybody does and has. I think judgment, perception, and criticism are what creates a humans mindset to the external world. Some may even say that one may view others as he views himself. While that could be true, everything is built upon experience. Despite genetics.
What moving force allows another to think they the have power to conclude who someone else is as a whole? What is it that someone truly thinks they know every single underlying detail to someone, to where they can decide for themself on who this person "truly" is? Disregarding personal interaction and experiences- but to internally analyze and JUDGE someone you have never even met??? Never even spoken to in person? How does one do that? Exactly... you can't.
I understand that when you have a close trustworthy friend, it would make logical sense to take their word. This is someone you confide in- there would be no reason not to. But to hate, assume, and act on malice, toward someone you do not personally know JUST because your friend doesn't like them, is wrong. To make somebody feel less than they are. To torment another human being. To call them names. That is not right. At all. When you make assumptions on somebody, your actions toward them play a reverse card and end up revealing who you really are. You see people the way you want to see people. You have an idea of what the world is and what the world could be, and you mold people into fitting into that. It is all about perception. If you perceive a person as you wish, you will be naive to everything but those qualities.

This code of ethics applies to everyone. Teachers, parents, aunts, uncles, peers, friends, siblings, etc,.- In a classroom there are so many types of students. The quiet ones, cold-ignorant-harsh ones, driven ones, horrible language ones, reluctant ones, "know it all" ones, loud attention seeking ones, anxiety ones, "always late" ones, "doesn't listen" ones, overly joyful ones, etc,.
How can you judge someone when you don't know their goal in life? Their kind of past and background they came from? Their experiences of hurt and love? Did you look into their soul or did you look at their appearance?
People are not looking for others beauty- their good. You haven't seen their light in their eyes. You just have to look hard enough, and you can even help it grow- but you can't walk away from their first 3 impressions.

The most fascinating question is: What do people mean when they say the word "I"?

There is one judge, and that is not you. Who do you think you are? Maybe take a second and instead of making judgement calls on who other people are- try making some judgement calls on yourself.
