One principle I
plan to try and maintain for the rest of my life is to not be judgmental.
Referencing to the book Great Gatsby, like Nick’s character I was also raised
to not look down on others because I do not know their life situations. My
friends however, find me to be very judgmental even though I try not to be. I
like to look out for people’s best interest even if that person does not agree
with my opinion. If it comes across offensive, it’s not intentional.
Although, I strongly dislike people who are judgmental, it would be very
hypocritical of me to do the same. Also, it is in human nature for people to do
whatever they please and if I don’t like it then I have to accept that because
it is not my life and therefore none of my business. This principal is
important to me to maintain because I do not want to lose friends and
acquaintances because I judged them. The people of the world feel ashamed or
proud enough of their own choices and I and everyone who is also judgmental
should keep out of their way.
