I think the people that put me down and judge me for my unique way of thinking and style would be the first people to have the biggest changes if everyone in the world just stopped judging others. I think a lot of judging stems from both fear and jealousy. Fear because they dont really understand what/why they are judging the other person and jealousy because they wished they had the guts to be true to themselves and not care who knows it.

The world would definitely be a more peaceful, happier place if no one ever judge anyone else.

Im sure lots of peoples childhoods would be easier and happier without negative judgement. That alone eventualy would lead to a better world me thinks!
Life would be easier for everyone generally too. I know when people judge me - usually idiots driving by in cars yelling insults etc; even though I dont care what other people think it still irks me that a second or 2 of my time has been polluted by negativity. For some people though, those insults really hurt and if we could change that, well it could only be beneficial Im sure.

I saw a good quote the other day that sort of relates - "No compliment can make me like myself more and no insult can make me like myself less."
*Thought that was worth highlighting (-:

I think people without judgments and opinions would be boring.
I would rather see a world where people are more accepting of others' opinions and can shake them off a bit easier. I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words but if people didn't judge themselves by what others think of them, didn't feel they needed to be accepted by everyone else to be happy and accepted themselves as much as they can accept differences in others, we would all be happier.
Celebrate who you are. :)

With higher self esteem more people would succeed, less people would tear others down out of judgement for themsleves... People would create amazing things and follow their dreams. I cant imagine how much our society would advance technologically if mroe people followed their crazy ideas without tossing them out after self-judging them!

Yes! I find we can be the harshest judges of ourselves most of all!

If no one judged, I think I would have found out who I really am a lot sooner than I did... All through growing up & school, I always was different, but I really never found my "place". I always have had a weird sense of style, I could rock anything from "prep" to "goth" to "punk", "slutty", "hippie"... the list could go on. My clothes were varied, my style of music was varied, etc. I was comfortable in my own skin, but I felt really alone a lot of the time because people judged me. People thought I was weird. Lots of guys told me they thought I looked good but would never date me because I was weird. That really hurt when I was younger....

When I was 18, I really started figuring out that even though I wasn't just like everyone else in my small town, I was still important and definitely not weird. I didn't go to my first festival til right before I turned 20, but as soon as I went, I knew I found my place. To me, a good festival is a place where you can go and be who you are -EXACTLY- who you want to be.... and no one is going to judge you. I can wear fairy wings, I can glow as much as I want to, I can wear bright ass colored leggings under my skirts, I can wear a bathing suit, I can be/act/look however I want to and be greeted with ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT SMILES.

I wish the world was a place that held no judgments, I really do... I think it would be a lot easier for younger girls (and boys) growing up if no one had to worry about being judged about anything. I know there are good judgments too (hey, she looks cool, maybe we could be friends), but the bad judgments outweigh the good by far.

The hooping community is an amazing place, there are SO MANY of us who do not judge each other. We all communicate openly about everyyyything & anything, support each other, and teach each other when we're struggling with a trick. The world could take a cue from us on how to operate...

This topic just gets me going, I love the idea of a world without judgment.

I'm sure the world would definitely be a better place and we'd all get a long better! Everyone would be accepted and things would be easier. I like the quote: "It's easier too see someone elses faults than your own"

I think we see in others what we see in ourselves!
