Do you judge people by their past life decisions?

[Anonymous]

No, only their present

Yes

Unless they are really bad, no

Do you judge number 10 because it used to be -10 before 20 was added to it?

It's a past life. The fact that your paths crossed means that at this point in time you are quite even. ㅤ

No, I don’t judge people by their past life decisions. Everyone has a history, everyone has made mistakes, and everyone has things they wish they could’ve done differently. What matters most is who a person is today, how they’ve grown, and the choices they make moving forward.

People change, people learn, and life shapes all of us in different ways. Judging someone for their past keeps them stuck there, instead of recognizing the person they’re trying to become. I believe in giving grace, understanding, and allowing others the space to evolve because we all need that same grace ourselves sometimes.

However, that grace does not extend to child abusers or rapists. Those actions are unforgivable in my eyes, and I will never trust or excuse people who harm others in that way. There’s a difference between human mistakes and intentional, destructive evil. I can give understanding to those who have grown from their past but I do not, and will not, forgive those kinds of abuses.

I judge people by how they learned or failed to learn from their past life decisions. We all fuck up. We all get screwed over by friends and family and lovers. What did you do with that? Did you grow as a person or curl up in a ball or become bitter and cynical?

Are you still making bad life decisions? You probably lack the ability for introspective thought. Or you may just be dumber than a bag of rocks. In either case, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

I don't judge too harshly if they did stupid shit as a teenager. If people keep doing stupid shit past their early 20's, most of the time they are idiots for life. You can't fix stupid.

[888theGreat]

yes, it sheds light on their decision making

[Asker]

Can't decision making improve as you get older? Just because you made bad decisions at 18 doesn't mean you're a bad decision maker at 28.

There’s no reincarnation you get one life you’re either saved and go to heaven or not

[Bolt1104]

That’s exactly how I feel too. We only get one life, and at the end of the day it’s about living in a way that honors God. I don’t judge people for their past because God gives us grace and allows us to grow but we’re still responsible for how we live and the choices we make. What matters is the heart and the direction you’re choosing now, because that’s what God sees. Who am I to judge myself when the judge is God not me in the end. I try my best but I do have some people I don’t trust due to their past actions. Examples are Rapist and child abusers/predators.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Sometimes if they're truly egregious. Usually, no.
