Becoming judgemental as I age

I’m kind of the opposite. I don’t give a shit anymore, people can do what they like. Things people used to say would have really irritated me in the past, now it’s maybe an eye roll and move on. On the other hand, people really fucking irritate me. But that’s not judgemental, it’s just anyone who’s noisy or selfish or a prick generally.

I actually dont think we judge enough and its not good for society.

Of course I am older!

I think young people are much more likely to be group thinking, believing the 'right' way to think and so say those things, try to believe those things. As you have more experience in life and realise its not necessary and a lot of the group think is the emperors new clothes type of thing, you dont go along with it. As Ive aged Im more confident to say 'thats bullshit' and I dont agree with it.

You see examples all the time on here and in social media, a good example is this new phenomenon of 'age gap' relationships.

In my experience as you get older you increasingly don’t sweat the small stuff. Older people who do, generally did it when they were younger as well. I have had a lot of contact with older people throughout my life and it is generally true that the irritable and nasty ones have always been that way. And vice versa the kind and gentle people.

I don’t get your point about going on marches. I never suggested that they couldn’t. People can protest as much as they wish as long as it is peaceful and does not interfere with the lives of others. So as an example no one should be gluing themselves to the road and stopping traffic because they don't want people to eat meat.What no one is entitled to do is bully others into remaining quiet if they disagree. Sadly the adherents of right think seem to be the worse offenders.

While I don't agree with every bit of this, it did make me laugh.
