Judgement, like assumptions, makes an ass out of you!

For the past year or so I've really noticed this new phenomenon where people are being made to feel guilty for taking up space on the planet. It's also the new way for women to condemn other women. I'm curious if you've noticed it too.
It comes out in the new environmental movement. I've noticed it in commercials where we are told to buy things after being guilted for buying other products. I also notice it particularly with the new plastic bags versus the homie sack. Every time I walk into (and especially out of) my local market, I can't help but notice the stares of judgement aimed at the women who make the spontaneous stop at the market with her 3 kids and no bags. Just because it wasn't planned should not mean that she has no right to stop for food. Some women believe that this gives them the right to give the blatant passive aggressive stare and energetically bully her so she gets the message the she "should" have brought her own bags. Really ladies?
Plastic bottled water is another example. Somehow the companies that makes them are okay but you're not if you buy them.
I think it would be better if we all made the assumption that everyone is doing their best, and that there may be extenuating circumstances that we aren't privy to. That being the case, we have no right to cast judgement. We might feel like we have the right, we might even feel that people will benefit from our judgement, but that still doesn't mean that we should share it. We have this tendency to think we know what's right for others; that they are somehow too stupid to get it without us their pointing it out. Most importantly, if we could all let go of the insatiable urge to judge others to feel superior then we can come closer to a peaceful society.
When we can remember that every time we judge others the judgement is usually a part of ourselves we don't want to own, then we need to let go of the urge to point the finger back out in the world.
Remember, every time you point a finger at someone else, there are at least three pointing back at you. And just because we don't want to use plastic bags in north America doesn't mean the entire planet is on a recycling program, so ease up!
Lastly then, to quote Abe Lincoln in Bill and Ted, "be excellent to each other".
