Wow, I would have to say that my opinion is the exact opposite of Jura's. And I think that's a first - since I admire her perspective on so many issues.
Please Maria, do what I failed to do...live every moment of your life to the fullest not caring one bit about what others think of your actions.
People, as a whole, are petty, selfish, and judgemental. And their judgements add up to absolutely nothing.
Live your life freely and surround yourself with those wonderful souls (friends) that do not judge. And feel sorry for those that do.
What would I do first if I would not be judged? I would dance naked in the rain...until I fell from exhaustion.
