We have no right to judge others — because we simply can’t!

Question from the Internet:

“Does any human being have the right to judge another? Can punishments be imposed without sentimentally passing judgement or having opinions?”

No, we don’t have any right to judge each other. And this has nothing to do with morality, ethics. We simply can’t assess, judge each other as we all perceive reality through our inherently egocentric, self-serving, self-justifying, subjective filters.

We don’t see others as they are, we see their own personalized “version", which fits our selfish, subjective, self-justifying calculations best.

Thus instead of others we have to judge, assess ourselves. Through a unique, purposeful and highly practical educational method, first of all we need to recognize how distorted, corrupted our original consciousness, perception is. Then with the same method we can learn how to acquire a truly objective, selfless viewpoint.

Then through that new viewpoint — in contrast to the original viewpoint which doesn’t disappear — we can start assessing, comprehending, attaining others and reality as it is.

But if it wasn’t against, in contrast to the original, egocentric, subjective viewpoint providing the comparative background, we would never be able to verify, justify the new outlook as real, truthful.

This is why we were born with the original corrupted, subjective perception, so against it we could consciously, proactively develop, attain the true, selfless, objective viewpoint and verify it was real.
