Excellence: “I must remind myself not to judge.”
You don’t seem to be doing such a good job since your post sounds very judgmental. Tell you what, let’s make a deal: You won’t be judgmental of the communities in which getting married at 18 is considered ideal (as the Torah says) and we won’t be judgmental of the way things are done in Sydney.
Why do people have such a hard time accepting the fact that different communities do things differently?
