I think one of the most serious issues with modern society is the stigma attached to being “judgmental”.
I went to a small memorial observance arranged by the family of a friend who had lost their son. It was a small, graveside affair, maybe 20 people. I had driven about 30 miles in rush hour traffic to be there, and had taken the time to put on a suit, etc.
At the appointed time, everyone was there except for two cousins, and everyone waited. And waited.
They showed up at 20 minutes after the hour with barely a word of apology, and nobody even reprimanded them.
I was feeling quite judgmental, but...it apparently isn’t allowed these days. You might make someone feel uncomfortable by judging them.
‘I think one of the most serious issues with modern society is the stigma attached to being “judgmental”’
Agree completely. I have a younger brother and an older brother. My younger brother frequently shows no common sense. I was talking with my older brother about this and he said ‘well, we can’t judge him’. My response was ‘ why not? maybe if we did, he wouldn’t do such stupid things’. Taking away our ‘discrimination and judgment’ on others for their stupid actions, hasn’t been a good thing for our country or the world. But PC dictates no judgment, so we are in this handbasket, and going down at an alarming rate.
