It is a natural human tendency to look at the outside world and, according to our value systems, find others to be lacking or otherwise. The catch phrase here is” according to our values systems”.
The entire judgement factor stems
from this. We all build up our own value systems according to who we are and
what our experiences are. Different things work for different people. At
different times and we keep changing as wisdom dawns.
Each of us therefore, has to give
each one their due. There is really no need to invade someone else’s space with
analysis and criticism.
Anyway, criticism borders on “I
am better than you” aspect which is not quite right. And you will see the
evidence of this in the fact that people you criticize have their own friends
and followers. Evidently then, what they live with are not wrong principles but
different from yours. You may not agree but that’s ok. You don’t need to harbor
any feelings about that. Letting go of what is not compatible with your energy
is vital to growth.
At the end of the day, we need to
recognize that each one has a different journey and the universe has the
capacity to hold and protect all of us.
Yes, we do have to keep learning and evolving till we teach the truth about ourselves. But that is the extent and the ultimate for our journey, as it is for the others. How soon we will reach that point of realization, depends on our thinking, understanding and reflecting on ourselves. And then proceeding to work on ourselves as we go along.
“Live and let live”. Try and live
well and with awareness of our thoughts, our actions and what we need to
cleanse from our huge bank of memories.
Our memories spark our likes and
dislikes. We need to keep away from both.
