There’s a very interesting article over at OneKindAct, considering the impact of making judgements on others. My view of judgement is that it’s near impossible to prevent making judgements on people (a lot of it is unconscious), and so I like to go with the flow of my neuro-physiology and make positive judgements, such as “I bet this person has lots of interesting stories to tell” or “I wonder what I can learn from this person today”, or even, if the ‘first impression’ (ie that unconscious dislike) is bad “I wonder how this person is going to prove to me that my first impression wasn’t quite right”.
Because I’m looking for the silver lining, I’m amazed how they become clear to me with alarming regularity.
Enjoy the article over at:
