Are You Better Than Others?


Do you ever think that you are better than others? If so, what makes you think you are?

If so, what gives you the right to judge someone or quickly conclude assumptions about a person you ie. met 1 minute ago?

If so, what makes you think that you are above and of more worth than another person?

If so, what makes you so special? And how do you explain that to yourself? Is that rational cause?

If so, what really makes you superior and more important?
Grades from school? Your knowledge on a certain topic? How cool you friends are? What clothes you wear? How many meetings you go to during a day? How much money you got?

If so, do you ever think about that there is probably someone out there that thinks they are better than you? Someone looking at you just like you look at the cleaning lady when you pass by without a greeting and a smile?

If so, do you think about that? How does that thought make you feel? What do you think about that?
Are they worth more than you simply because they think that? Can you agree? What makes you agree or disagree? How do you explain that to yourself?

And..

if so, what do you really know about the person you are judging? Do you know them personally? Do you know their passions or interests? Do you know who they are and what they do when you do not see them?

Really,

if so, who are you to judge?

And remember,
judging a person do not define who they are, it defines who you are.

Pretty good @yrja. Up-Voted and Followed

Thank you! and thanks for reading :D Glad to hear that :) :)

everyone kind of has that solipsism thing where they think they are a bit better... having confidence is an intrinsic part of survival, but as we mature we see more the commonality and shared interests we possess

I think lots of us should mature way sooner though! but we should also learn stuff in school that makes us see the world in different perspectives...! Thanks for dropping me a comment @clumsysilverdad !

i believe that no person is better than other person bcoz we are all humans, that's basically, but it may be cases where preference between people become necessary like when a firm want to recruit someone, the HR manager will make preference by the calification or what we call in human ressources "the adequacy between the work and the profile of the person "

yes of course, then it is all about if the person is a good fit for the company culture as well, how well will he/she be doing around those who's already there :)

I like your post!

Thank you! Glad I could give you some value :D

Beautiful !
Yes, It depends on ourselves !

exactly! :)
