good or bad? bad or good?

Living in a girls' hostel with "girls", i frequently get to hear my fellow hostel-mates categorise people(guys,to be more exact) into good and bad based on a person's drinking and smoking habits. pretty normal talk here in my hostel. armed with information about how much a guy drinks and smokes and how often, the girls jump into conclusions about his character. "this guy is bad because he drinks." "he smokes a lot so you know what kind of a person he must be." blah blah.. they pass their judgements with absolute surety.
but i tell you:i am not one of them. i do not share their sentiments. i declare myself to be one of the very small group of people who refuse to judge people on that basis. i cannot allow myself to be so narrow-minded and bigoted as to judge someone like that. this is not to say that i support alcoholism or chain-smoking. i do not. i know smoking kills. i know drinking destroys. and i would never encourage anyone to smoke or drink. but the simple point is that smoking or drinking is not a criteria that would naturally render a person bad. you cannot jump to conclusions about how a person  is based on such an aspect as smoking or drinking.
everyone drinks during the college years.(and from observation, i know that eventually they cut down on the drinking and smoking. they do it now for the fun of it. they are not trying to become alcoholics!! ) and you would find very few people who don't,say 5%. ok let's raise it a little. say it's  10%. so would you say the 90% are bad cause they drink and smoke? i think i would be a brainless fool to say that. it would be narrow-mindedness and stupidity of the highest order. but i think most girls(at least the ones here) are programmed to think that a guy who drinks and smokes is naturally bad. they have been thinking that way for ages now i guess. and the conservative attitude is hard to change. many a time arguments break out on topics such as drinking, smoking and some even more taboo topics.
i thank God i grew up with an open mind. i don't hate someone just because s/he smokes or drinks. for me, what matters is honesty and integrity. what matters is truth. what matters is kindness and love. i personally know people who smoke and drink. and they are better persons than many non-smokers and non-drinkers. ( i have no intention to insult the non-doers. this is just my very personal view). some smokers and drinkers have all my respect and admiration for the things they have achieved; their sense of responsibility, honesty and integrity.
all those conservatives, doubters, cynics,fools may not agree with me. so be it. i cannot make you change your stand or your mind. i don't care anyway. but baby, when you end up marrying a guy who drinks and smokes, tell me how you feel. is he no longer bad? :P

(good, bad. normal, weird. shallow, deep. i wonder if we even have the right to judge people.
shouldn't we all stop being judgemental for one day?)
