<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Being Judgmental: Pros and Cons</h2><br />
<div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by Evot Iacah</div><br /><br />
<div class='uawarticle'>We tend to be quick on judging others. It doesn't matter if we do it for different reasons, it tends to cause challenges to us and to other people. <b><i>A lot of this happens because of the ways in which our brain operates. Some of it is simply a non-productive habit.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Think about these ideas:</b><br />
<br />
1. <b>We're prone to mistaken assumptions.</b> Almost all of us has something to say when it comes to subjects which we really don't have any first-hand experience. Whether you want to discuss vegetarianism, living the lifestyle of a monk, or space aliens, nearly everyone you speak to will have a pretty strong opinion even if they have no experience with any of these topics.<br />
<br />
- This usually happens because we really didn't experience it and we just get the facts from anybody. Consider this: the information your source given to you might be also derived from someone else.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Humans have pattern-seeking brains.</b> When you're exposed to something new, your brain naturally attempts to connect it to something you already know. It's critical because it supplies assertion and certainty. It helps you survive in the world.<br />
<br />
- But these connections aren't always sufficient to provide an accurate opinion. A degree of error is also introduced and the resulting conclusions have large degrees of error as well. Being quick to believe that your unrelated experience is a valid place from which to draw conclusions is usually your first error, and then it can grow from there.<br />
<br />
<b>The Perils of Being Judgmental</b> <br />
<br />
Being condemnatory is dangerous to you and to others. <b><i>When you hold inaccurate opinions and share them, you steer other people in the wrong direction, as well as yourself.</i></b> You also prevent yourself from being open to new things. In order to know if we are already out of the path, we need a high degree of self-awareness.<br />
<br />
You have too many comments about being rich when in the first place you haven't been one. If you're viewpoint is cynical, do you think it's related to why you are not wealthy?<br />
<br />
<b>Avoiding the Costs</b><br />
<br />
Avoid being so quick to judge. <b><i>The real key to unearthing your mistaken assumptions or incorrect pattern recognition is <a href="http://www.personalgrowthcafe.com/">self-awareness</a>.</i></b><br />
<br />
Learn to recognize when your knowledge and relevant experience are lacking. Ask yourself a series of questions:<br />
<br />
- What knowledge do I have that allows me to have this opinion?<br />
- Is this knowledge valid?<br />
- Am I really an expert on this topic?<br />
- Is my ego involved?<br />
<br />
<b>When to Use Judgment</b><br />
<br />
On the other hand, careful judgments can be beneficial for us. After all, what you chose to wear and eat today required a judgment call. So how do you know if your views and decisions are solid?<br />
<br />
This is quite simple. <b>Ask yourself: how accurate are my predictions?</b> If you can predict the result on a certain matter correctly, then you should be confident enough that your judgment is fine.<br />
<br />
If a situation doesn't involve risking your health or someone else's, try to hold off on forming a strong opinion until after you've actually given the new activity a try. Just how many times have you prevent yourself from trying and doing something because you feel it wouldn't work out for you?<br />
<br />
If you cultivate an open mind, you would be astounded at how your life would flourish!<br />
