Vignettes and Quotes - Judging

If there's one person who I think I would like to have met, and known personally, it is Carl Jung. The depth that comes through in some of his lines. They are almost like a beacon towards clarified thinking.

"Thinking is difficult, that's why most people judge"

Think about how much we all do this. Just pause to catch yourself on one day. Any conversation, about another, with another, with self.....and you'll realize there is more judging happening, than you want or intend or realize.

Judging others is so easy.

We all have a framework through which we look at the world. One that's been created of our own upbringing, exposure and conditioning. And everything perceived and thought of, is filtered through that framework.

Think about it. We have a sense of good dressing, religious beliefs, sense of success, acceptable behavior, relationship norms........ they create our entire system of 'right' and 'wrong'. Anything that fits is right...what doesn't subscribe becomes an aberration and something we don't approve of, and we're ready to judge. Worse still.......judge the person who holds them for even holding them.

When it comes to our own lives, we approve of our own actions. Not because they are right. There is no absolute 'right', but because it aligns with our own beliefs.

What would it take to accept that each individual similarly has their own worldview, and each will function from their own space. And at that a dynamic space....an evolving space.

We 'get' that, and I'd wager we've cracked something. The world could start to look different. Words like 'right and wrong', 'good and bad' could disappear from your frame. You'll likely only be left with 'what works for you' and 'what may not', and for the rest, what you'll feel is only love and compassion.

Imagine so much love and compassion in the world.
