Are you kidding me?

People change with time
It's amazing to witness
Life breaks everyone

Juvenility: Ju-ve-nil-i-ty [joo-vuh-nil-i-tee] Noun - 1. An instance of being juvenile.

Juvenile: Ju-ve-nile [joo-vuh-nl, -nahyl] Adjective - 1. Immature; childish; infantile.

I have faith in the human race, dwindling as it may be. I try to love all people. I'm polite and friendly. I show no disrespect until disrespect is shown to me. I try not to judge but it is hard not to form an opinion of people as you interact with them over time. The two are very closely related. The distinction that I make is as follows. Judgments are more concrete than opinions, where as opinions can be swayed and altered more readily. That being said I have many opinions of many people and topics. Not all good, but there are reasons for that, just like there are reasons for the good opinions. I place values on certain information, traits, and actions; I then form opinions based on what I see, hear and read.

Given the above, I value my opinions. They are my own (for the most part). If asked by someone what my opinion on a topic or a certain individual is, I will let them know. Even if it isn't what they necessarily want to hear. There is a remedy to that, however, simply don't ask. I don't go around spouting my opinions where it's not welcome. I don't divulge unless input is requested of me (usually, unless I'm telling a joke, being witty, etc.).

One of my most prevalent opinions is on the topic of hypocrisy. Granted, no one has asked my opinion on hypocrisy as of late, but no one put a gun to your head and forced you to read this either. So here it is, in all its glory. Hypocrisy, that's for fags. That's how faggots do it. Don't complain about people being judgmental. Doing so is casting judgment on those people. That's being a hypocrite. Don't claim certain people are juvenile because of certain actions, but not really confront them about it. Hiding from a problem is far more juvenile than saying a few choice words. That makes you a hypocrite. Don't bemoan friends not living up to standards when you yourself aren't affording them any of the courtesies you are looking for. Communication is key, people can't read minds. That's for hypocrites, and fags, mostly fags.

But that's just my opinion of hypocrisy. It may change. It may not. For instance, an opinion of mine on a person changed recently. It's not the first and certainly not the last. This person was less than amiable even though I was nothing but nice. For the sake of a friend I was nice even though I began to dislike this person. However, this person recently stopped being a douche and opened up a little. Bam, like that I went from not liking this person to being on fairly neutral-to-good terms. That person decided to change, and with them so did my opinion.

My opinion of someone else recently changed from good to not so good. A disappointing event lead to said person's decline. I won't go into specifics, but the point is opinions change. Mine do anyway.

So I maintain that even though I'm not on my walkway, I try to reserve my judgments. But like I said, people look at me and find it hard not to judge. I'm not even on the walkway yet. What happens then?

Just for fun:

Let's complain about the light
