Why do we judge People based on one-time Mistakes?

Aliquaz

 Hello Everyone,

Today, I was reflecting on something that I believe might have happened to us, it is either we find ourselves in the situation of being the accused or the judge. I decided to shed light on what I personally feel towards such topics as this, which is; why do we judge people based on one-time mistakes or in other words why is a person only judged for his bad deeds and all his good deeds are forgotten?

Take for instance, there was this situation where a woman always take her child and her neighbor's child to school every morning. So on a particular day, the woman zoomed off in her car and did not take her neighbor's child due to a reason. The next day, this woman with the car greeted her neighbor and asked her neighbor's child to come into the car, in order for her to take the little girl to school, but the girl's mother ( the neighbor) flared back in annoyance that there was no need she could take her child by herself.

My thoughts were, just because the woman with the car  refused to take the neighbor child for a day, she has automatically been deemed as a bad person, but why? what about the other days when she assisted them without even being asked to? why must people be judged for when they do or say something wrong for just one day or one time? why can't we just look past their mistakes? Everybody makes mistake and has flaws. 

If you cannot look past a person's mistake and you keep on judging them just because of a one-time mistake, why not remember past days when that person did good or said something to encourage you or when they were your pillar of support, or what about the times when that person was there for you or even the times they went past their own way to please you. 

I believe we live in a world where people are just so judgmental and look for any kind of ways or means to tag a person as a bad person but it is not supposed to be that way, before you judge a person you should ask yourself questions like: Are you without mistakes? How will I feel if I was judged for one bad move ? Can't my past good deeds makeup for my present mistake? Can't my mistake be overlooked? People like to condemn people but will you like to be condemned by someone else? If you do not, then it is time to actually pardon people for their mistakes except if such behavior is a continuous habit you are not comfortable with.

We are in a time when everybody has different issues they are going through, everyone is passing  a tough phase in life especially with what is going on in the world  presently, like for instance: Covid 19, Hunger issues, Depression, Life struggles etc, so one has to be very careful before judging people for a bad action they do not usually exhibit or else you might just lose such person due to your one-sided judgement.
