Judging people...

I was feeling lousy yesterday after being mean to a close friend of mine. After a day of brooding for having become the mean person I have become, I remembered what a friend of mine said a while ago. "Do not judge people including you in their worst times, you will only be a hypocrite amd it serves no good purpose". So very true.. I never used to like the instances when somebody or the other criticizes somebody else especially when they are going through some tough time. Recollecting the recent past, I've commited two counts of such offence myself. Another instance of hypocrisy.. I've often told myself I shouldn't fight with my loved ones and they deserve the longest leash but often we give the longest leash to strangers and we hold our loved ones to a very high bar. It is only human to falter in tough times.. so forgive and forget.
