Why do people judge?

Do you ever wonder why people are so judgmental when it comes to analyzing other peoples’ behavior? The answer it’s quite simple: it’s easy to point the finger.

The other day I read a post where this guy was judging beggars. How can someone say that people beg for money to buy drugs or alcohol? Instead of judging I suggest taking a second and thinking that maybe that person doesn’t want to beg he wants to work but nobody gives him the possibility. Nowadays anything can happen. We are no longer “masters of our destiny”. The economic and financial crisis has taken a toll on all of us. People lose homes like gamblers lose money at roulette. Therefore there is no wonder that more and more people turn to begging to keep their family alive and I’m not being too dramatic here.
Yesterday I met a little girl who didn’t beg for money but begged for food. She needed milk to feed her little brother. At least that what she said showing me a baby wrapped in a blanket and placed on a bench. You might be thinking she takes the milk and sells it for cash. But who are we to judge here. She probably needs to do these things because her parents maker her and if she doesn’t bring anything at home she probably gets a punishment or worse a good smacking. It’s easy to judge and become frustrated that beggars gain more money  just by sitting around. Instead why don’t we do something to help them leave this state. Here are some suggestions in this direction.
