Look in the Mirror

We all want to judge the morality of others actions, whether it is Angela, or the girl and her boyfriend or even the people with the phones. I do not believe that none of us have done something that we do not want any one else to know about, and maybe your logic here would be "yes, I have, but it was not that bad". According to this logic, we seem to have a scale of "wrongness" and after a certain level we feel people should be punished. The problem is that we tend to turn a blind eye when it is a friend or ourselves on trial. So what makes us capable of judging the rightness or wrongness of another's action. If we consider ourselves morally superior then we can't bring ourselves down to the level of the criminal just to punish them. It sends the wrong message to make something a crime when one person does it and "just" when another does it. We all have these double standards in our life. We just have to make sure we aren't used these double standards to provide justice in a country.

  1. I agree that everyone has double standards and we should not use them when judging others.
