On Being Judgemental

"If someone starts a verbal fight with me~ I maintain silence" Quote by author
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why waste your life being judgemental?
Talking negative, proving you’re right and other person is wrong and bad
So much stress to the mind for what?
What will you achieve by this act?
Why not be calm?

Is there really something called right or wrong?
Aren’t we all creations of God?
Isn’t every right and wrong created by him? 
Can he be wrong?
In that sense can anything be wrong?
Wrong for one is right for other
It is all in the mind

Little knowledge and big ego speaks 
Our hatred and jealousy speaks
Our mind is in turmoil 

Why subject mind to this? 
Why not enjoy our short stay?
Every moment slipping by 
Tomorrow if death were to stand near 
we should be able to say we lived life joyously here. 

In trying to prove you are the greatest, you are right,
if something happens to your brain and your heart 
then you will yourself label yourself as most immature and stupid
and chide yourself for your behaviour.
