I really tire of hearing people cast judgment on others about things that don’t concern them. Everything from our politics, to our beliefs, and even our lifestyle seems to be a topic of scrutiny.

What happened to being free to do whatever we want, within the constructs of our laws of course, and living our own lives?

I have no idea. But I’m here to say, back off.

Are people bored, grandstanding, or just nosy? I guess any or all of those could be the answer, but if you’re one of those people out there that also feel like their lives are the subject of some outside force of judgment, let’s go through this and get clear on why you don’t need to worry about that.

For real.

You don’t live in a glasshouse, do you?

If you don’t bother anyone else or get all up in someone’s business about how they live, then you should have a reasonable expectation of the same consideration.

Am I right?

Yes. It’s not always the case, but just settle into the idea that you don’t bother anyone, therefore, you need not worry about their assessment of you.
