We all are much more conscious about our way of being and psyche in this last decade. But since Gen Z (people like to push them forward onto the stage) started to point out the hypocrisies the society has, things started to escalade much faster than we may have predicted if we gave any thought.
What we call as judgement nowadays is what I call ‘fear projecting’. How it works and how we may experience this is shortly like this;
There’s something/someone opposing our ideas, beliefs, values and even their way of existing on this earth. Because we cannot be able to think differently about our values and very dear beliefs we reject or shame the opposing idea or situation. Our first instinct to call them as a foe for no solid reason. But the solid reason is we need to destroy in order to survive with our own values and beliefs. If we try to jump into someone’s shoes we will lose the meaning of our life. I did this and will not recommend doing it. It takes the life out of you so that’s why you resist, reject, annihilate that type of idea.
I’ll give a soft but very common example for this.
Let’s say you’re against improving yourself (mindfulness, meditation, trauma work etc.) like the exposed face of media demands and your friends participate in. You’ll be called many names. “You’re thick headed, judgemental and traditional.” a person says to you while actually making a not processed judgement themselves. You can either defend yourself (if you feel the need to) or tell them that they’re saying what they actually fear.
Going backwards is everyone’s fear. Falling short and being the misfit if you really are the misfit on this 7 billion people earth. Truman Show, remember it.
So why do we fall into this trap of judging others and adopting some anonymous views and ideas?
We’re in a train without any breaks. No one knows where we are going but we are going forward right? Technology, human rights, animal rights, environmentalism, activism, enlightenment (which should be left in the 18th century but…) and now we are attacking other people’s brains.
I wished the only thing attacking our brains would’ve been these devices we’re enkindled and the media itself directed by the big decision makers. But besides these, we are attacking our brains and still eliminating any contradicting idea from someone else like we’re obliged to do this. Just like a soldier we’re defending our beliefs and attacking without any attac coming from the outside.
We live in a manic state. Some of us live in another dimension of psychosis. I thought we like to talk about psychology here and there, very very comfortably. I’m sorry for people who really do not take time and dignity to go learn about the thing they are talking so bluntly about. I’m concerned how long will this continue and how much will I personally can construct an idea what is going on in this world. No opinion is safe or valid. Today may be your day to shout out and kick people but we put two polars on this earth, so no one is safe and everything is already in a melting pot. We don’t know who started the fire but it’s never been extinguished like the fire on Olympus my dear friends.
