You be the Judge

[hehe.. been sooo busy lately... finally.. Friday!... ^^.. have time to blog! hui hui]

Judging. Why must we judge everything we come across? Consciously and even subconsciously, we all seem to have the need to label something as something. Why?

Having thought about this questions over the whole week, I still haven't found an answer. I guess it's part of the way we were made... being so much more intelligent, efficient, innovative... that we become competitive and feel the desire to stand out. It's also a type of survival mechanism- competition only allows the stronger and better side to survive, to thrive, to move forward.

However, we also have feelings. This is the nasty part about all this. Despite the survival mechanism, despite the need to improve... we still all have feelings to consider when we judge. When you judge subconsciouly though, the damage isn't that great, as you only think about it and not communicate it. Just like when you walk past a beautiful shop display, you may think "Oh, that's nice" or "Oh my God.. how weird is that!?"- this doesn't affect anyone directly, but may affect the appeal of that particular shop. When you actually judge something or someone to another, that's the bad part. That's where all the back-stabbing, rumours, hatred and such events are generated, turning into a vicious cycle.

It's quite uncontrollable though, this judging power in us. Society today has become like that, the democracy in our country has allowed us to further this power- afterall, it's freedom of speech right? The contradicting personalities of the human... fascinating, yet, not totally supposedly "moral".

Hui Hui ^^b
