Societal norms, the Moral Majority and a rant that feels so good

innerSpaceman · 11-02-2005, 08:46 AM

Ya know, I can't think of five things that people judge me about.

Oh, I can conceive of 5 items people might judge me about .... but since I have no evidence of any judgment going on, I'm not going to assume the nature of it.

I think that's mighty nice that the people in my life have at least the courtesy to keep any judgments of me to themselves. I would hope this does not extend to good friends foregoing constructive criticism, but it's generally pleasant that I do not feel subjected to judgment by anyone I know. How cool is that?

And it merely strengthens my feelings about judgmentalism itself. The absence of it feels good.

(And I know it would feel even better if I could stop doing it myself - - I consciously work on it ... with varying degrees of success. It does not require that I become unopinionated. Those who know me [whether they judge me or not] know that's never going to happen.)
