Re: Judgemental muslims
Nik,
Judging is a part of human nature. Some people are worse about it than others. If you think about it, we judge all the time.
We judge what school is good for our children, what house fits our needs, what car is more practical, what job is more beneficial, which shirt is the better buy, what saalun should be cooked today, what people would make better company, what people to avoid. See what I mean?
Insecurity is also a part of human nature. Sometimes we judge others so that we can feel better about ourselves. For example, we may feel bad about not praying 5 times a day. But we feel so much better pointing out that another fellow Muslim drinks alcohol is much worse than us.....cuz we feel better about our own shortcomings.
Being overly-consumed with judging others.....you will stop growing as an individual. And that's scary. Most people in this world are neither 100% good nor 100% bad. They're a mixture of both...an imperfection...with the potential of doing positive things.
