Do You Judge Others?

Hello guys, during having a cup of coffee with less sugar this morning, i was wondering why people judge others in a first place and do they have that right or not? So, i would like to discuss the things in my point of view. This might happened on you, on your friends or maybe you're one of those who have done this.

Meaning of Judge.
'Judge' verb means formatting an opinion, conclusion or estimation over something. Example of it was judgment made by magistrate in court. So 'judge others' means making an opinion, conclusion or estimation over someone else such as you teacher, lecturer, friends etc.

Why and How do people judge others?
It is simply because they have made a study and analysis over other people and made their conclusion base on their point of view. With the data analyzed, someone may drew a conclusion. Example, My Wife is an excellent chef after eating her serving of delicious Malay's dishes for a year.

In the other hands, the judgment made by someone was solely true for themselves. However, do other person will have same conclusion? I would say NO!

Lets get to the point, to judge other must be a simple things. Base on simple data also you can draw your conclusion. However, getting the accurate judgment is something that need lots of work, lots of data, lots of thought and lots of study. There is no short cut to make a judgment especially when it comes to judge other people. There is one example that i will share here, if your are related in anyway with the stories, please contact your psychiatric or psychologist for advice (just kidding).

"A graduated man with high level of education is someone with a good level of making decision skill. This kind of people mostly drew their decision base on theory and also story or experience they've gone through. Sadly, decision or conclusion "this man" made was something that really unacceptable.
He conclude that several people in his life including parents, siblings, friends and lecturers were real bad. He said that his farther wasn't able to play a role as a farther, some lecturer he claimed was bias and stupid other than ignorance, and some of his friends were always wrong when it comes to giving opinion during discussion".

Even if you really a good man, excellent in study, wide experienced and skillful, be reminded that you are still a Human which is never perfect. Three things you should put into consideration your your judgment:

1. You always a son/daughter of someone. Out of Trillion sperms, you're the one which was selected to grew up.
Even if you think that you parents has never done anything for you, but how can one compare that effort done to you since you "1 second old up until now". You may have your conclusion on them, but its true only to you and only. They've live and experience too much things that you haven't! Just think about getting you out from your mother's womb.

2. Human are primitive and violent naturally. Education helps us to be civilized and of course education are always related to teachers/lecturer. Even if you think your lecturer has no style of a "lecture", even some of them know things you already know, but matter of fact, they are the people who educate people. This people dedicated their live to educate other Human! Something that not everyone are willing to do or capable of. Even if you are also a lecturer, you are previously a human with nothing. Lecturer become a lecturer not just by attending a class and get the certificate. But it is a process where you dedicated your life to teach others, for that to happen you have to study hard, work hard and skillful enough to pass down your knowledge. Lecturer/teacher with other profession will never be the same.

3. Last but not least, don't judge people opinion by simply a moment of thought. That because your judgment will be judge by others and the process will continue until all parties achieved an agreement. There is no single things in this world can be achieved just by the act of ONE MAN. Today was a result of so many opinion of late people had made. That is why word "discussion" has been invented.

In conclusion, judging is a simple action but a complicated process. The make a silly judgement is easy, but to judge professionally needs professionals. Its your choice to be silly or to be professional.

The viewpoint is solely by me without any intention to reflect others opinion or mocking other people.
