It's about to get real up in here, so prepare. I'm about to go all Stuart Smalley on your asses; well, if he were as brutally honest as I am.
I was rounding mile six of my run the other morning when I noticed, out of my peripheral-TV-vision, some ecstatic hate-monger holding a 'Stop Abortion Now!' sign. Now, I'll own that I am Pro-Choice on this particular issue; but after reading what I have to say I sincerely hope it will make you think and consider your own position on any topic that provokes the judgement of others, their choices and actions.
The instant I saw this guy yelling and screaming and generally acting like a complete lunatic, so impregnated (no pun intended) with hate was he, I thought 'Wow, what in his own head, heart and Soul is he running from so desperately that he's decided to devote his life to the judgment of other people's actions instead of his own?' That's right, I'm proposing and staunchly believe that any person so devoted to a judgmentally-oriented cause; be it gun control, religion, pro-life/choice, politics, sports, education, baking, anti-butt-f*^#ing, etc., is simply avoiding one thing: Their own internal issues.
After all, faced with battling your own demons it is astonishingly more compelling to judge the actions of others. When you focus on the deficiencies and problems of others, yours magically disappear; right? Suddenly your life doesn't seem so bad, your unhappiness slightly less pronounced. You know your making the right decisions because you see nothing but others making the wrong decisions. These are blatant lies we have all fed ourselves. Unfortunately, the disappearing act is actually the absorbance of our deepest, darkest, fears and insecurities; and left repressed to our sub-conscious, they typically present themselves subtly in our everyday lives as depression, anxiety, addiction and bouts of extreme road-rage and puppy-kicking.
Furthermore, what makes people think they can successfully manage the life of another? This isn't The Sims people; we are piss-on humans and don't get to play God in the lives of others. How can that man say, with 100% certainty, that the girl entering the abortion clinic would be better off keeping the baby or adopting it once its born? He doesn't; he simply can't know what keeping that child would do to either of their lives. No one can say what the right choice is for someone else concerning any issue. Period. Perhaps she'll later regret her choice; maybe she'll come to think it was the best decision she had ever made. Either way it is hers, and hers alone, to make.
The kindest act that one human can do for another is simply give them the freedom to do what they personally feel is the best plan-of-action for them, sans judgement. Will it blow up in their face? Likely. But if/when it does, at least they can be certain that they have no one to blame but themselves; no one forced that decision on them. They are then forced to take full responsibility for those actions, which affords an invaluable personal growth experience; painful though it may be.
NOTE: I'm only picking on the issue of abortion because its one of the most controversial and widely understood. Please take this concept a step further, however, and draw parallels to any instance where you find yourself adversely judging someone's decisions and actions. Ask yourself why it makes you feel that way; dig deep to the source as it's likely been buried by years of repression. What might you be avoiding in your own life, past, present and/or future, that sparks such a feeling on dis-like, or even hatred. A better Humanity starts with you; now stop being such as asshole!
If we all had the same education, we would all know exactly whether anti or pro choice was the right decision. When one is educated beyond the guy with the sign, the answer becomes clear and clearly depends upon the circumstances.
ReplyDelete"No one can say what the right choice is for someone else concerning any issue."
Bullshit. Some issues are universal no matter what. If you are human, the issue has an answer. Other issues like how you dress, how you feed yourself, what your hobbies are: all your choices, no one can judge you on those.
Notice anything wrong here? Yes, our society is backwards on the common sense perspective. We judge on shoes, and insist on remaining quiet over ones proven fallacy of a religion.
As long as people refuse to unite under the same education, we will continue the game of division and hostility. That is until it crashes itself under the weight of infinite fallacy.
The only way to get us under the same education is for those harboring their own fallacies to enter the arms of The Way, The Light, the universal attitude from which will spring harmony on a level never seen.
"No one can say what the right choice is for someone else concerning any issue."
DeleteIf you think you're God then go ahead and make choices for others. Everyone is here to learn their own lessons; their lesson plan may even include such atrocities as murder, rape or genocide. Though we, as individuals with our EXTREMELY limited consciousness, cannot conceive of why that would be the 'right' thing to do; it is not our life, not our lesson and therefore not our decision to make.
We sign up for the lessons learned in this life before it even starts, but whatever happens here was meant to happen; the good and the bad. We take those lessons with us after we leave and they shape our Spirit. This is my personal belief, it's truth cannot be verified yet it is a knowing I feel in my Soul. If you feel justified in judging me for it, you've obviously completely missed the point.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. What have you said that tries anything new?
ReplyDeleteI am God, and so are you. The difference between you and I is that you still think of God in the traditional and manufactured sense, as a separate entity. I stand with physics for my spirituality, you know, something real.
It is proven one hundred fold that Abrahamic religion is a Pagan rip off with added conditioning and control. And it is your responsibility as a human to KNOW this and push the buttons of those participating in the practice to help clear the air of unneeded fallacy. Much as Jesus pushed the buttons of the 'money changers.'It could be called forceful altruism? Some call it tough love.
"We sign up for the lessons learned in this life before it even starts, but whatever happens here was meant to happen."
I agree, completely. This is why I was able to tap into these universal principles, and why I know at least part of my mission is to spread that Word.
I only judge when one is going against a known truth, so I have only judged you so far based on your thoughts that 'anyone can make and have their own truths.' It is my duty to inform you otherwise, as per my position in this paradigm.
Change will not happen in the minds of the people, unless they have a strong set of shoulders to stand on. I as just a single human, have those strong shoulders, and the desire for future others to see beyond what I am able to see. So I will walk through life pushing buttons, and when I wake one up from their social slumber, I will kneel in honor as another human steps upon my back and takes us farther into the future.
Your point to the posting was personal growth through making mistakes, I got that. But you are insisting that we pile on the infinite fallacy to create a learning lesson, which, only confuses people. It makes much more sense that if we all had the same information from which to learn, we could waste less of our lives looking for a truth needle in that infinite pile of hay. Stop telling people that each piece of that hay could be true! We are looking for a needle.
Truth should be slammed in your face like in this video, but it is not today, today, corporations manufacture people of fallacy to encourage the insanity to continue. They know all about division, and how infinite fallacy can be used for Their benefit.

Passionate, and beyond, I will carry a cross for any true cause.
