Why Am I judging Sisters who are not yet natural?

I had no idea that deciding to go natural would open up so many other areas of my life that needed attention.  As I peeled back the layers of relaxed hair; I also found myself peeling back layers of my Soul.  I began to ponder all sorts of issues relating from my hair to how I related to people and their hair.  I decided early on that I would not judge sisters who had not yet discovered the power of giong natural. 

However, I have found myself doing what I promised I would not do - judging them.  I find myself often looking at bright, brilliant, articulate sisters and then I wonder off to thinking "Why is she being fake under that relaxer" or wondering "I wonder how her natural hair looks" or even surmising "Who does she think she's fooling under that relaxed hair!" the list goes on and on.

I do not like thinking that way and hope someday that I will not but as of now, I cannot help but wonder off as to why they "don't get it yet".

Am I alone in this?  Is this what most natural sisters think about?
