Before judging others judge yourself...
If you are an opiniated person you have missed the whole point of life, in a way you are dead now, when so much is there to know, when what we can know and what we know is always miniscule, the opinion generated out of that tiny knowledge will always be half baked.
But still that is the most fluanted quality of people, they don't even hesitate in forming their opinion, in judging others on the basis of their crippled filters. You assassinate someone's character with your prejudiced mind but what you get, nothing.
Why people like to judge others, I don't know, but I have seen people engrossed in the criticism of others. May be they get some pleasure out of it. However my point is you can never change other, what we can control and transform with hundred percent efficiency is ourselves. So criticizing (negative criticism) others will not have any effect and nor will you get anything out of it, so it is merely a time waste. And even if you want others to improve, if you want others to get rid of the bad things, bitching is not the way.
Let me clarify myself, here when I am saying criticizing, I mean to say the criticism people do behind someone's back, what we call bitching.
Talking about their faults behind their back simple serve no purpose, instead if you just reflect upon yourself and your behaviour, your habits, that will be of utmost help to you. If you are conscious about your good bad that will bring amazing transformation inside you. Because, lets be straight here, everybody has some good and bad, but that is not the problem because good and bad is our invention, for the nature there is nothing good and bad, everything has come from that same one thing so how could one be good and other be bad, but still we use this notion for societal purpose and it's ok. So having some good and bad is not the problem but if you are unconscious of your both attributes you will end up being an opiniated person.
One must criticise himself, one should enquire about their own mind, one should be conscious of who you are, not in the view of society, not in terms of his or her social standing but the way you are inside you.
Namaskar.
Very well said, and I hope others read your post!
There are things that require legitimate criticism, however, often people criticise others for no legitimate reason. I did this when I was younger.
As I grew older I realised that life is rarely ever black or white but is just various shades of grey.
Before I criticise others (which is extremely rare) I ask myself what would I have done in their situation and if that I know all of the facts. If I do criticise then I also provide possible solutions, otherwise, it would just be myself whinging.
I fear that often people criticise others as a form of entertainment rather than a way to help the other improve themselves...
