Put Yourself in their shoes

Why are people continuously talking down on others and just assuming the worst of them before they even get to know them. In my opinion you should never judge anyone until you know their story and you know what they have been through, I’m not going to lie I’m not a saint and I do talk about people at times but that doesn’t make it right now does it? Even if they did something to you still shouldn’t talk down on them because they could be doing it to be cool or I don’t know maybe just to cover up the hurt that they are currently holding inside of them. I used to do the same thing and even do sometimes now I would try to find some things wrong with other people just so I feel better about myself because I had a lot of insecurities now don’t get me wrong I still have some now but I would find some things wrong with other people that isn’t wrong with me and say “Well at least I’m not in their position” Even if I wasn’t being hateful does that make it right? no it doesn’t. Try to put yourselves in the other persons shoe until you really know whats going on with them until you try to judge them
