I realized today that as I get older and learn more about Buddhism, and Psychology that my habit to judge others is dying out. I’m quite glad about that. When I hear others judge others it’s like a stab in an unnecessary place. I have heard that as you wake up, you become more sensitive to things such as this.
KC wisely said, “I don’t like it when people judge others aspirations.” It struck a deep cord with me. An aspiration is something not yet achieved. And to judge someone else’s dream, or aspiration is unnecessary but how many of us do it? I know I used to a lot. But what is our intention behind that need to judge? Be it verbally in front of others, or in our thoughts. And this is what I return to if my mouth is about to open with anything like that. What is my intention behind such a comment? That consciousness easily breaks down judgement because you realize it is not serving you, or others.
The Buddha aptly said “if you can’t improve on silence, then don’t speak.”
