Imagine you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog.It looks cute and friendly.You move up to pet the dog.Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you.The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry.Then,as the wind blows,the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap.Now,you take pity on the dog.You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain.
We all judge（评判） others all the time.It might be over small things,like a workmate who takes too long of a lunch break.Or it might be over bigger matters,such as a person who behaves selfishly or hurts our feelings.There are many reasons why we judge others.It is human nature to find a way to survive.When we see a dog（or a person） that might bite us,of course we feel threatened（威胁）.We become nervous,want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for another's behavior.
Although judgment is a natural reaction（反应），try to catch yourself before you speak,for you can't get your words back.Make a short stop.Try to change your thought into a positive（正面的） one.After all,like that dog in the trap,we really don't know the reasons for someone's behavior.
When someone disagrees with us or somehow makes our life difficult,remember that it's usually not about us.It may be about their pain or struggle（挣扎）.Why not give others the right to express their doubt？ "Never underestimate the pain of a person," Will Smith said, "because in all honesty,everyone is struggling.Some people are better at hiding it than others"
