#betterindividuals

        As we grow up right from our pre-school stage to early childhood and childhood we need our parents and elders to guide us through our tender age. It is our parents who tell us what is good and what is bad and also teach us to discriminate between the two. We being immature and naive that is the first and the utmost thing that we are taught. With that they also try to imbibe a sense of discrimination in us. This is the first step towards the much needed wisdom which will be required to deal with the complexities of the real world as we grow up. 

        Cut to adulthood, with all the things taught in the childhood, learnt in the teenage and with all the ups and downs we gain the experience. And its a constant process which never stops. Going off the topic, I personally believe and I'm sure everyone will be on board with me on the fact that defeats, failures and mistakes give the important as well as minute lessons which victories and success fail to give. This happens because during success we are in a bubble, we are willing to overlook the few if's and but's which persist while during failure we go into a momentary shell and that's when the process of introspection starts and that's when we come to face with our short-comings. Well coming back to the point, the experience gained nurtures our mental ability to judge things. It short it improves our judgement. It makes us wiser. 

                One can only judge something if he/she knows head to toe about that particular thing    (people, facts, beliefs, theories or other random stuff). To back me up I've a famous quote and i.e "Half knowledge is dangerous". So what I'm trying to say is that drawing conclusions about things which we don't can not only have wider implications but they can also come and bite us. I'll give my own example to support my argument. Till high school I had hardly learnt any thing about spirituality, conscience, karma, higher power etc. It was only during my junior college, that I was taught (I should rather say given insight) about these things at the place where I took my tuition. The purpose of teaching that was to achieve what we academically aimed for and most importantly to make us better individuals. The latter being more noble. Special sessions were conducted for giving a few lessons on them. Few students were there who took the insights positively, followed the teachings meticulously and abided to them like a religion. Another few were least interested in such sessions. They doubted the credibility and had their opinions on the selfless efforts that were being put by the faculty which was disrespectful as well as insulting. And there was another majority which lied in between the two groups. They neither surrendered to the priceless discourse nor did they question the credibility of the discourse. And I must confess I was one of them. I've a question for the second group, who are you to judge the credibility of the discourse?

      Judgement, this is where its usage is in question. Many a times people judge things about which they don't have much knowledge. Few go even to the extent of mouthing bad about such things. Ignorance shouts out loud from such people as they are left wanting of the evidence about their opinions that are mostly without the first hand knowledge of what they are talking about. They become the self proclaimed critics and are quite often seen imposing their views on others. 

                  Without criticizing them much I'd say a better scenario would be a one where we become neutral about what we don't know and if possible also about the the things we are aware of. The former being necessary and both being ideal. We should start appreciating the things that come by whether they are good or bad. We should be curious to learn more about the things where our  knowledge lack. It will clear our misconceptions and will make us wiser. It will not only change  our perceptions but also improve the judgement. Overall it will lead to flushing out the negativity  present in us.
