Just Because

The human species, master of all planetary critters roaming the earth, has the ability to think and to reason, problem solve and invent, conquer and divide and many other wonderful traits that were not handed down to the lower species.  Perhaps the main trait of the human that distinguishes it as being superior, is the innate ability to be snarky and judgmental. 

There are times the human gets an idea that they believe is the best idea that has ever entered a brain.  When this happens, they share it with other humans.  Some of the humans will get on board and think it is a great idea too, but some will not.  This is when the original thought maker decides that the ones who do not think the idea was the best thing since sliced bread, must not be very smart.  They don't think the same way, so something must be wrong with them.

There are those humans who, cannot for the life of them, understand why some humans do what they do.  Why do they drive a certain vehicle, or live in a certain house?  Why do they sit in front of the TV all day and do nothing?  Why do they wear clothes that cost lots of money?  Why do they make such mistakes?  Why don't they think the same way, the right way?  The list can go on and on on how the humans judge and condemn.

Just because a person wants to spend their income on a fancy vehicle does not make them wrong.  Think about all the people who helped put that vehicle together.  Think about what it means to them when someone buys that vehicle.  It could be the difference between having a Merry Christmas and not having one.  The same goes for a dwelling.  Someone worked long hard hours to build that home and were most likely grateful for the compensation.  

Just because people do things differently than what other people think they should be doing, does not make what that person does wrong.  Maybe they were put here to do the things they do because they have some kind of cosmic contract to fulfill.  Maybe they were put here to see how we react to them and we have to explain our reaction at the end of the game of life.  That thought alone should make us think twice before being so righteous, snarky and judgmental.  Why?  Just because.
