The way we see other people should not be the way we deal with our inner Self.
And you’ll be well aware of this fact.
It’s very easy to judge someone—to “figure out” their life, to give solutions to their problems, and to gossip about them all day.
It feels like you know all the answers.
Because it is easy to deal with fragments—and create empires.
But when you turn to your inner Self, you stumble. You panic. You have no idea how to deal with the spiraling thoughts in your mind. And you avoid facing your inner world at all costs.
Because you know every tiny detail about you—what you did, what you didn't, what you hid, and what you carry in silence.
You know the entire story—and you sure know you cannot run away.
This is the beginning of self-realization—facing your inner world without running away, without sugarcoating, without clever justifications—just one-on-one with your consciousness.
So is judgment an escape from facing the Self?
Maybe.
And now you realize,
The way you deal with society isn't how you deal with the Self—because society is just a collection of selves, at the core.
Now ask,
What is the real society—and how much do you truly know about it?
What are you not seeing—and what you may never see?
How much of what we're reacting to is real truth?
And, are our judgments ever truly worth their weight?
Because,
The world runs on partial information. And it thrives on it.
Because we don't even realize it’s incomplete.
Something to think about Beyond Silence.
