rabbit hole of judging people including yourself

Judging is what we are always doing. 

I agree. But I feel like there is a trap -- self contradiction here.

 

Our judging is often comparative. I mean people define themselves based on other aspects of inner self or the outside world. It sounds like it should be totally fine to say "I'm hardworking(something positive)." or think "I'm sperior to others." But these words never describe us completely because of the hidden phases of our negativity. So I mean you'll be trapped by your positivity, which could easily trun into negativity, by defining yourself that way.

 

Similarly, in a society, by categorizing people based on sexualities, appearances, personalities, and much others, we get stuck to 

stereotypes. So as many others point out, by  defining people as a group of something, even though it seemingly looks fine because we think we can understand those people (including ourselves) better, an opposite thing is true. Then we can accept them only by filtering them firsthand. And then we judge people who don't fit in categories as strange. And people start creating new categories to put them in (even not knowing these filters would force the categorized people to suffer from self contradictions). Vivacious cycles here. 

 

So I'm inclined to think I'm nothing (p.s. it's similar approach to 無 mu in the Buddhistic meditation), neither positive nor negative, superior nor inferior. It sounds like I stop thinking, but the intention is obvious now. It is to suspend these biases not to fail into a rabbit hole of judging and to sustain a pool of possibilities. And this doesn't mean I try to erase the entity of myself. Rather, I just forcus on its entity. I am here, and my thoughts are here. No judgements on me. And this is how I have identified myself.

 

Education is considered to teach us categorizing and labeling to some extent, as a research shows that uneducated people do not distinguish daily objects in the same way that educated people do. 

 

So I would like to say learning not to categorize things would be more important.
