THE JUDGING WORLD

 

“Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are.”

 Every generation felt that the next generation was not as good as the previous generation in terms of values. Lifestyle can change, education can be better, new trends in technology is welcome, but, we need to hold on to our values. The timeless wisdom should prevail at all costs. Can we pass this on from generation to generation? Today’s trend is to misuse the social media to pull down someone. Opinions are made, with everyone fighting that they are right.  Small matters are blown out of proportion to cause sensationalism. Washing dirty linen in public has become a way of life.

 The social media is full of such news, which is not even verified, but commented upon by people who don’t even know what actually happened. According to me, these are people who are jobless, who are disillusioned in life, who are failures, who are unhappy in life and wish to spoil the happiness of other people. Should you care about these comments? Should their remarks affect you? Their intention itself is to damage your reputation. Why should you succumb? Judging people to gain attention has become a trend in this modern world. The judging world will judge you and move on. Should we waste our emotions on people who are not worth a penny? It is more important to know who you are.

 The world does not care how you feel. It has a say in all matters, whether it matters to them or not. If we fail in the exam, we will be judged. If we forget our speech, we will be laughed at. If we are thin or fat, we will be body shamed. If we are not beautiful in their eyes, we will be commented upon. If we are brilliant, they will mock at us. If we are short or tall, they will make fun of us. This is the world we live in. Someone who feels inadequate will pass a comment. Someone who feels less will make a remark. Someone who feels incomplete will be jealous of us.

 “Successful people are the most judged people in the world.”

 Every time, somebody judges you, don’t take them seriously and lose your sleep. They are not worth a penny. Don’t give them the attention that they don’t require. Instead, keep working on yourself and get your being right. Turn your attention to yourself and keep assessing your growth in all dimensions. Don’t stop growing. In every situation, your maturity should prevail over others’ immaturity. Keep lifting yourself. Work on your limitations. Take ownership of your actions and be accountable to yourself. Then, the world’s definition of you will not affect you or define you. It will only define who they are.
