Proverbs 11

Proverbs 11:9 says, " “An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbor: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.”  This means we can't judge others when we ourselves aren't perfect either. We have no room to point fingers at others. When we treat others with respect they deserve, the outcome will be justified. We need to spend more time doing the right thing instead of focusing on what others are doing wrong. This stuck out to me because it is easy in high school to judge everyone else constantly without even realizing you are doing it.
One action I am going to take is every time I hear people gossiping to just walk away. This is hard because as humans we are very curious. It will be a good push for me though, and I think people will have more respect in the end. Another thing I am going to try to do is try to be more understanding of others. It is hard not to judge, but maybe something deeper is hidden in someone's life. If I try to understand others stories, I think I will get more respect overall all. I think I'll be a better person and friend.
