The biggest reflexive and automatic response in my life is my tendency to judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge how the cashier forgot and took too long to get my iced coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge how attractive or ugly that woman walking opposite me on the street is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judge how good or bad that friend is for not replying to my messages in the expected time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All my judgements create a duality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This duality is of aversion and attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where there is aversion and attraction there must be a preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When there is a preference, there can be no choice but anxiety and suffering towards the thing that I don\u2019t want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s so engrained in society people don\u2019t realize because it\u2019s been like this their whole lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schools preach getting high grades, as if it\u2019s \u201cgood\u201d to get higher grades and \u201cbad\u201d to get lower grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social media, news, movies, and my parents make judgements on everything and everyone all day long. It\u2019s no wonder that everyone is conditioned to judge and judge and judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where there is a judgement, there must be a preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where there is a preference, there must be aversion and attraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where there is aversion and attraction, suffering and misery must follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only way out of this suffering is to recognize my reflexive judgements and the way they make me feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only once I recognize how my judgements makes me feel, then what needs to happen will happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are socially conditioned to judge everything and everyone all the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only way out is to walk away from society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Only then the tendrils of conditioning may have a chance to not touch me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I may have a chance to live how nature intended me to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
