"Oh my god, blue eyeshadow? Really?"
"Ugh, she is wearing waaaaaay too much perfume."
"My god his voice is so annoying!"
"She should really learn to use a brush."
"He stinks, ew ew ew ew!"
"Someone could have skipped that second helping."
"Wow, way too much eyeliner."


These are probably some malicious little thoughts that flit through your mind during the day. I know for a fact that I've thought the blue eyeshadow one way too many times during my first period class. (I'm a junior, but I have to take a freshman class since this school system sets the classes up in a different order than my old school.) I know that after one of my mean thoughts I feel very guilty for thinking them. But why is that? Why do we feel guilty for thinking something? Well, maybe we shouldn't.


Our character is not determined by our first thoughts on something, our character is determined how we go about dealing with these thoughts. I've noticed that so many rude things come to my mind when I see something that I dislike, but I never say them outloud, whether to the person in question or to someone else. I keep these thoughts to myself unless the issue can be fixed very quickly in the place that we are at. Do not judge someone by their weight, their voice, their height, etc. Even if the issue can be fixed quickly, try to express it gently.


Remember that for every rude thought that pops into your mind, that person probably had some about you as well. Think of how easily your pride would be damaged if that person criticised you out loud. Only bring something up to a person that is necessary such as smudged makeup or a bad smell. Even if it is a bad smell, don't say that bluntly. Say," Hey, want to try this perfume?" or something along those lines.


We are all judgmental pricks, and that is okay. It is just natural for us to judge everything. We are deep thinkers, in both good and bad ways. Just try to remember that other people may be in different positions than yourself, and try to be considerate about voicing your thoughts, even if that means you have to keep that thought a secret.
