Day 79: Judging Others

day 79: why do you feel as though people judge others


People judge others all the time. And quite critically too. We fail to allow for circumstances, or emotional upheavals or even ignorance and are ever ready to pronounce our assessment (mostly unflattering).


Some reasons for such an attitude that I can attribute are:
Closed Mindset
Prejudices dud to prior unhappy experiences
Petty jealousy
An unwavering opinion that we are excellent judges of character
Need to establish our own superiority over others


Obviously I am being quite an intellectual snob if I claim to know all the answers or even right reasons. But for what it's worth, this is my take on why people judge others.

Day 78: Give Me an Honest Opinion or None at All!

day 78: would you rather people be honest with you, even if it’s something not good, or lie to you to make you feel good


I'd rather people give me an honest opinion than none at all. I ask only few people for their opinions and in such cases, I'd like the truth and not a warped version sugar coated for palatability. Not only is it helpful but prevents eventual disappointment, blame games and eventual mistrust. 
Truth is always better. 


I'd liek to add a disclaimer here that this applies only for topics that I am genuinely asking people for. I am opinionated myself, so I limit my inquiries to important issues and discourage others from imposing their own on me as well. :P
