Judgemental Hain Kya?

“Judgemental Hain Kya?” That was one very strange and weird movie I had gone to see, and before you get offended (that’s if you like the movie, or it’s stars), in my defence I went for it because of the company, someone  who I liked a lot (and no, I am not going to spill the beans, or anything, on that, so let’s put a pin in that and burst any bubble that’s forming). But hey this is not about the movie.

Being judgemental is so ingrained in our DNA that we can’t help ourselves and judge others, whether on our own, or ganging up with others, we love to be judgy about everything.

We love to judge others but hate to be judged by others, after all the shoe doesn’t fit well when it’s on the other foot (I hope I got that phrase right).

We can’t help ourselves. We see anything, or anyone, and we judge. Its like it’s our birth right and we will do it (sorry Lokmanya Tilak). We can’t stop ourselves, and even though we may make a conscious effort to avoid it, subconsciously we end up doing it.

Even yours truly (that’s me, if you get my drift), has been guilty of this heinous crime. 

Although we are well aware of the ill-effect of being judgy queens, we just can’t do unto others what we want to be done unto ourselves (did I get that right?)

To add to that you have social media. We have our whole lives out there (and not in the X-Files kind of way). It’s like you’re giving the world a front row seat to a one man play featuring us. We see, we click, we post, and for what, likes and comments, followers. But what we don’t see is we are putting ourselves out there and the risk of being judged, and very often comments can be very detrimental to our well-being.

So in the end no one is safe from being judgy. If you judge others, be ready to be judged yourself, and if you cry foul, remember that others would feel the same way too.

So before you make a judgy, bitchy comment, think of this (just rephrasing Christ) let them cast the first stone, the one who are without blemish.
