How easy it is for me to criticize you. I am very accustomed to doing so. I do it with everyone else too. It doesn't matter if it's my partner, a family member, a friend, or a stranger. And if any of them escape my judgment, it's because, for the moment, they are meeting my expectations. However, as soon as they fail to do what I want, they become the target of my fiercest criticism.
When I watch the news, I vent my feelings on everyone. I point my accusing finger at them and criticize them openly. And how good I feel after telling them, or thinking, how badly they are behaving. They say that if the news isn't bad, it's not news. That's why we like watching it so much, to fuel our fear and judgment.
When I watch a movie, there has to be a villain. Someone to blame, and if possible, someone who ends up getting their comeuppance, so that justice is served.
I spend most of my life choosing the ego, the wrong teacher, who desperately seeks fault in others, when it is my own unconscious fault that I find
What I am really seeing in the world is the movie projected from within me. And when I choose the ego, as usually happens, the script is one of criticism and judgment of others, which leads me to fear. And this happens because, from the depths of my Being, from my center, from my wise and loving mind, which is my essence, I know that that person is innocent, so when I attack them with my judgments, my unconscious guilt increases and sooner or later, they will defend themselves with attacks on me, which makes me feel even more afraid. It is an unconscious mechanism that goes unnoticed by me.
When I judge someone, I enter into the egoic euphoria of feeling good about myself. What I ignore is that those arrows I have thrown will come back at me, which will lead to suffering.
What can I do to escape suffering?
I am in the ego if I suffer, or if I am afraid, or if I go through any situation or thought that does not bring me peace. I realize that, once again, I have chosen the ego. That's okay, I accept it and become aware of it.
s soon as possible, I will ask my Being to see it differently, even if the situation remains the same. I am asking for another interpretation, another script for the movie. That person acts that way toward me because they are suffering. It is how their ego manifests itself.
My Being's response will come, when appropriate, in the form of peace. An indescribable feeling that will make me understand that the other person, like me, is innocent and is also suffering. The thought may come to me, “It's not that big a deal, don't make such a fuss about it.”
It is said that people who are wrongly called “toxic” are our great teachers because their behavior brings out in us the wrong mind, the dark side, the swamp of unconscious guilt that feeds the ego. Thanks to them, we will become aware of how bad we still are inside and what we still need to heal in order to continue on our path toward Love.
