Don’t condemn me for something you too did.
What makes you any better?

Who are you to judge the equally guilty person?
And in what right mind should I trust that your opinions aren’t based on unjust bias?

You judge Eve for have eaten the forbidden fruit,
but wouldn’t you too?

You’re no better at being human than me.
Or the homeless guy on the street,
or the slave you so claim worthy to keep.

Your judgement should be taken as a grain of salt,
almost worthless.
Because you’re no better than the murderer,
the thief,
or the saint.

This is where the like of morality blurs,
because if I’m not a good judge,
who is?

Who is the one worthy to judge?
Truthfully…
no one.
No human or animal is cleansed or perfect.

But one whom clearly understands the laws,
and upholds them
is truthful.
Not perfect,
but sufficient.

But on a wider spectrum,
true judgement upholds moral values.
But no one has the same values.

The most important thing when it comes to righteousness
is a diverse and open mind.
Able of taking in different perspectives and opinions
and slow to react with anger or bitterness.

Realistically though only a few handful of individuals can classify themselves under these conditions.
Because as humans it is as natural to judge than it is to eat.

Am I trying to justify it?
No.
And in no way am I trying to uphold or encourage it.
Yet, I am recognizing it.
Because as much as I wish it weren’t,
it’s the dark side of being human.
Or at least one of the many parts.

Maybe living in peace means living without judgement,
but if that’s the case
I guess humans live pretty agitated lives.
