As a wordling living in the world of responsibilites and compulsions (of having to provide food and shelter for ourselves), there are times when we cant provide or fulfill, we tend to err evaluate.
I live in a country where they still burn young brides to death, reasons are varied, the bride might not have brought enough dowry, has refused to comply to husband's demands, is not living up to the family's demands of slavery and irrationality, anything. So much irrational is going on here. My own father would hurl words of abuse alongwith any 'request' to polish his shoes or get him a glass of water, mom tried to teach me to comply.
Beautiful life turns ugly because someone somewhere has failed to respect themselves, with an unwholesome sense of self-depreciation they turn towards others. And what can you expect-ugliness?
I am always struck by the misery of others, and this is not a weakness. I find it great that for very high stakes I stood by what I thought was right ... numerous numerous times. Nothing great came out, except for internal quest for more ... better understanding. I find I cant go out party living in my country where so many suffer...
... it has not been possible to ignore the suffering and then you disocver the noble truths.
So next time when you judge, judge the outsides as miserable and poor, and without a sense of depreciation go and set it right. When you see that your clothes are dirty and without indulging any thoughts of misery you go and do your laundry, do the same for the inside, when you find miserable thoughts, do not self-depreciate, or over indulge ... just set it right
