Our world moves forward in an interesting way. How can a few days and a calendar change make such a difference? As I notice personal advancements/changes, and stare at the static news.
Have things changed? And why do people care so much about what is happening in others lives? Could there be a time when being selfish is actually good? Focusing on yourself, and leaving others alone.
Caring about others is important. But why be so critical of them? Of they way they choose to live their lives? What makes the way we live ours better than how they choose to live theirs?
I watch people I love deeply be so critical of others choices. Even people who have endured criticism from others. Do they not remember how that made them feel? To be unfairly judged?
Hypocrisy continues.
It’s inevitable, and only human. But sometimes I feel it is taken to a point where it is no longer excusable.
Judgment.
Every human brain is also always subconsciously judging. I judge. This is me judging humanity. I am not excluding myself.
But I want to ask the world why we feel we have the right to criticize others? Did they ask for it? How many people sit back and examine themselves?
Perfection is ultimately non-existent because of the different ideas of perfection that each person has. My idea of a perfect novel, would not be the same idea as perhaps the person who wrote that novel. My idea of the perfect haircut, may not be the same idea as the person who cuts my hair. My idea of a perfect life (is destined to only ever be imaginary because as a human I will never be satisfied no matter how much of the idea of a perfect life I have now, actually happens) is in no way the same as my friends or my family.
People don’t see the same. I would love to view the world through another’s eyes. Impossible I know. But it would be interesting to see if things I see every day, look the same way to someone else.
Yet I watch the news. I see the judgments society passes and wonder who came up with them first? What makes them feel they are in the right?
I also wonder if it is moral to work on a project, who’s ideas you completely disagree with, simply for the experience and the money?
Who decides what is moral anyway, and what are the consequences for making immoral choices?
How many people have realized that these questions are rhetorical, and at the same time, not?
I aim to create thinking from confusion.
Possibly.
