Summary

The article emphasizes the importance of refraining from judgment and appreciating individuality, highlighting the negative impact of quick judgments based on societal standards and social media posts.

Abstract

In a society where judgment is prevalent, the article "No Judgement And Feel The Beauty" by Agnes Laurens addresses the tendency to critique others based on personal standards of perfection. It discusses how social media exacerbates this issue, with individuals being judged for their appearances or unconventional choices, such as not wearing makeup or wearing mismatched socks. The author questions the motives behind such judgments and the feelings they evoke in both the judger and the judged. The article suggests that these actions can lead to feelings of insecurity and sadness, advocating instead for a culture of acceptance and learning from one another. It calls for introspection before criticism, urging readers to consider how they would feel if judged in the same way.

No Judgement And Feel The Beauty

In this world today we are judging others on their actions.

People don’t do anything good in someone else’s eyes. We all have in mind how perfect something should look like. That in mind, we will judge other people quickly, because we find it weird or doesn’t pitch our standards.

We are judging people on what they post on social media. Like that beautiful woman who has a thick chin which you see on the photo or that girl that wears no make-up, that man posting a photo wearing two different socks.

You know, we easily can judge others quickly. But why do we judge in the first place? What do we feel when we judge others? What does that judged person feel when you judged her when she doesn’t wear make-up or that man wearing two different socks? Where does your judgment come from? What were you thinking? Have you ever been judged and how did you feel then?

All these judgments could feel someone belittled in a certain way. Someone could feel sad, not heard or participated in a group activity. We all want to be heard, we all want to be our work to be seen and value for others. Can we just see what you can learn from it, instead of judging others for maybe what you don’t have?

People become insecure about themselves. Please, consider yourself as the one who will be judged. What do you feel? I know you don’t like it. So, don’t do it to other people.

All I want to say is that we first should look to our inner self before looking to someone else.
