When you are young and inexperienced in much of what life has to offer, mostly in avenues of corruption, you can make decisions somewhat objectively and form opinions in matters of your morals. Then you get older and can find yourself in certain situations, experiencing certain things, and you realize again and again that you really never know how you will behave until you are truly faced with that decision. The most judgmental people are those who haven’t faced as many of those tough situations or perhaps they are the most stubborn people ever and able to keep to their objective, naive opinions they have held on to since childhood.

Take smoking for example. Many smokers started out as those who run up to people sucking on those cancer sticks and yell, “You’re killing yourself!” A few years later, they cave in to peer pressure (or simple societal pressure) and try one only to discover, “I had no idea! This is so good. You just don’t know until you try it.” Suddenly they are in the shoes of their previous after-school-special-lesson victim.

I see it all the time when I do Astrology readings. People who think Astrology is bullshit either don’t know enough about Astrology or don’t know enough about themselves. Even I would read things about myself and think, ‘That is so not me!’ Sometimes I would discover later that it absolutely was and is.

As we get older, experience more, learn more about ourselves, we suddenly discover we are walking in different shoes and realize any decisions, opinions, etc. that we form now can and probably will be compromised later. It might even lead to us being more sympathetic towards those we might have otherwise cast harsh judgments upon. Unfortunately most people haven’t gotten there yet and never will, which actually isn’t so unfortunate because it might force the rest of us to make the right decision, you know, the one we made when we were young and stupid.
