Judgments create Disturbance

• There’s a voice in our head that judges others behind their back - “her nose looks ugly,” “he must be bad in relationships.” We’ve all been guilty of making judgments without considering their impact on us and others  around us.

• Not just do we judge people, we judge events outside our control too. We judge the weather and our horoscope. Yet, an event is an event. It is what it is, its objective.  These irrational, inaccurate, and uncalled judgments about neutral events bring us disorder and make us blame that very event itself.

• Humans love their opinions, but don’t let your strong opinion turn judgmental.  When we are judgmental, we criticize others in a harmful way and hurt their feelings. On the contrary, if we have strong positive opinions, we can use them to bring about positive changes.

• Don’t label things and events as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ because it doesn’t matter. You never know what the event will turn out to be in the future.  Maybe what you considered terrible turns out to be great long-term.

• If you judge others, you may even be too hard on yourself and even judge yourself, creating insecurities  and affecting your self-esteem and happiness. Rather than judging others, focus on seeing and appreciating the good in others  while accepting the good in you.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
