It is wrong to pass judgement on anyone or anything based on the opinion of others, because people could have weird or no justifiable reasons for disliking, praising or criticizing something.
I've seen relationships break because of the opinion of third parties. People hate people they have never seen, nor ever had any relationship with, because of what others say about them. Some products are rejected because someone came up with lies against such products. People make marital decisions on the opinion of others. People get scammed because they bought the opinion of others. Some people make silly mistakes because someone told them it was the right thing to do.
We must learn to never to make an important decision relying on other people's opinion. Stop depending on other people's thoughts and judgments. Most people are biased for reasons best known to them.
Reasons why we should analyze things personally without a biased mind.
When we judge people or things by other people's opinion, we are certainly going to see reasons to justify whatever we were told. This is because, when we accept other people's opinion of something, our minds will create a mental image of what and how that person is based on what we were told and we'll try to find points to justify what we already have in mind.
We should understand that someone's opinion of other people or things is just a reflection of who that person is and how he interprets things. Therefore, we should not rely on their opinion, because if we judge that same thing with an unbiased mind, we could have a different interpretation.
We should also understand that most people judge things out of ignorance. When people don't understand something or somebody, they always have a wrong opinion of that person or thing.
Most people are sentimental when judging other people and things. We people have different beliefs and values, they sometimes treat the contrary believe with disdain and try to make other people do the same thing.
Conclusion
I grew up as a member of a certain religious sect. We were told we are the best. We were meant to look at others as if they didn't know what they are doing. We were even told not to read books written by the others. But when I got to a certain age, I decided to taste being on the other side, and now I realized that all we were told was out of sentiments and disdain for contrary beliefs.
Think for yourself. Never rely on the opinion of others.
