No matter on status, blood relation, social class, education level, religious knowledge, faith (?), with strong or weak power, one of our dominant tendencies, this human being, is judgmental, sentence or condemn. Even worse is when the uniform view of a group is instigated by the personal ego, the group ego, or the ism’s ego to judge and execute another person or group of people.
After a little we learn something, then know something, we then feel to be the absolute truth-owner and can be a great calculator to calculate the errors and truths of others. Somehow cultural, religious, humanitarian, legal, political, social, scientific and technological, management, even sportivities to be linked or parsed which must end with “I am right, we are right, and you and you are wrong!”, Consequences and the extension of the next story we must have known together, because there are everywhere, include ‘iniside here’.
If we reflect it deeply, is such behavior really true or false? If we answer this, then our answer are judgement as well, right? This view can be judgmental if we say wrong, or otherwise defend the wrong if we say true. Without blaming or justifying, since ancient times this tendency has become our genetic factor, carried away and will continue to be passed on through our teachings, our exemplary, our habits and our DNA, even though that does not mean that no one has escaped genetic inheritance and that culture.
If only we were able to mobilize all our willingness, courage, gratitude and logic, wisdom and motivation to penetrate the universal true truth, that is, the “why and for what?” Essential reason that the state exists and is available within the mind’s skin, in the midst of life and around us, maybe in the end we will be able to smile to understand and then to behave wisely upon that strong tendency, especially toward ourselves with the clear and wise as a glorified creature, who said as being with the same image with Him.
Wow Albert this is an amazing article that should not only be read via main stream avenues it should be raised as a topic at a universal debate club if one such exists. Triple stars!!!
Thank you so much for the compliment, Bradley. I think these issues are one of the reasons why people, nations, religions, and else hate or fight each other.
Thanks a lot, Tas. It’s a stainless steel statue of an elephant on a display cabinet.
Well done! Nice post!!!
Thank you for the compliment, Georgi
Side note: you computer got discharged?
Since yesterday, all my computers have been repaired and are back to normal. Right now, it’s just a matter of getting things done that made my schedule on peak last two week after about two months. Two or three days ahead I will be back as active as before. Thanks for your care and support!
That’s good to hear!!
Hehe … now you’ve no excuse to be inactive!!
Lol, just kidding, welcome back, Albert!!
I have hardly any reason, but there is still one: laziness!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha….
Look like another person is giving pressure not to be lazy…
We’ve missed you my friend
I agree that sometimes its the “set known” that gave us this “righteous” feeling. Like what the law defines as “bad” – killing, stealing, lying… and it is even told to us that we should “report” such actions …
I don’t like being judged … but we all judge others (Ironic) – we observe them cautiously before we decide to engage with them. We see their dress-code to decide if they’re “professional”… blah
“Eventually we humans are very good at making ourselves feel at ease” (Kevin Tsai said in a debate variety show) … aka finding excuses lol
Wow! The more I exchange opinions with you, the more I see your wisdom, my friend!
I think we can realize that the habit of judging everything is something that is taught and uploaded since we were babies, and it requires a courage, a will and a determination to see things as they are.
Nah, you’re being kind … Wisdom is not something that is associated with me… lol
Yes … it has to move away from something that is taught from young…
We all need to be reminded not to judge others. Thank you for sharing this
I think you have that wisdom and that makes me proud as your friend, LaJenna.
I agree, it is human nature to judge others’ actions and words. We are all guilty. However we learn in life, hopefully, to keep those judgements to ourselves. Never speak the words. Once they are spoken, they can never be taken back. Allow yourself to think the thoughts, but pause before you speak the words.
That’s very wise, Carol. Yes, we are all guilty but we should to learn continously from it because that at the same time that is the great teacher and lessons.
