My mom always told me that some people judge other's because they feel bad either about themselves or something else, and it makes them "feel" better by making another person feel bad too...

I have never understood that way of thinking, but I have seen that behavior practiced a lot lately and have been a victim of it myself.

I don't know if the other person feels any better, but they certainly succeed in making me feel bad .

But now that I think about it, those people are also the same people who I see treating others that way too.

Maybe they will never feel really happy. I just wish they would leave the rest of us alone, and not make it their lives work to make others feel the same way.

It is much harder to work at a relationship, that encourages EACH person involved to grow in a positive way. Those types of relationships threaten people whose only real need, and consequently only real goal, is that they feel that they are better than others, not better with others.

Seems like those types of people are the ones always judging others, but are unable to see the flaws in themselves. Kind of like the pebble in someone's eye vs. the rock in your own
