The Need To Be Better Than

I've been seeing a lot more Pagan/Wiccan videos on YouTube. Normally that is a good thing, but with the influx comes the haters, "video dislikers," and a whole lot of opinions on the right and wrong way to practice. 

Can we just give all that a rest?

Let us not criticize how others practice and hold them to our own set of standards. Let us instead embrace them for their differences, accepting that there are things in their life which may distract them from their path from time to time. Not all Pagans practice alike. Judging someone for not celebrating "X, Y, and Z" is not acceptable in my eyes, folks. Live and let live.

Just because we have an opinion doesn't mean we get to apply it to everyone else. Our doing something a certain way doesn't give us the right to expect that from everyone that calls themselves the same thing that we call ourselves. It is alright. The world won't stop spinning because someone missed a daily devotional. Stop judging. Stop criticizing.

And if you're in doubt, just mind your own business.
