Justification is not a word it’s a need we all feel time to
time while dealing with our life. It’s the only thing which can smooth our
growing frustration and guilt in minutes. We all need it and we all seek it
from time to time. Mostly we seek justification when we are questioned not by
others, but by someone sitting inside of our head known as our consciousness
began asking us question, which we work hard to avoid. But the minute we lower
our guards our consciousness began bombing us with questions, which we hate
been asked. Some like what are you doing with your life? Where this all going?
Why are you not worried about future of yourself? Why you smoke or drink a lot?
And always this questions points us that we need to judge our self, our
actions, and our decisions, but many times we rather choose justification than
judging ourselves. Because justification give us right reasons for whatever we
did and this put us in our own eyes as victim or a good guy when judging put us
in exact opposite position while bombing us with guilt and none of us love
feeling guilty. We all are justifying our self when we are late for office its
always traffic or late trains.
Whenever we smoke it’s always frustration. Justification
may ease guilt, but it’s the short term solution for long term problems. Not
long before I read a book called ‘mistakes were made but not by me’ it is a wonderful
book and its writer talked in this book about how we all created a defense
mechanism of justification in our self to protect us from judging our self and
how we all justify our every deed. Why I smoke? Or why I disrespect my parents?
Tough questions, but we all have our answers ready for these questions from
smoking is cool to parents disrespected me in childhood. And who am I to judge I
done the same thing.
And for some reason it’s better to justify than judge our
self because judging can throw us into emotional turmoil which may last for
years. Depression is the next threat on this list if we began judging our self.
Because if we did judge our self we may shatter our own belief system and that
could give some drastic effect on our personality and judging process don’t have
stop button on it it’s an ongoing process and if we judge our self once we may
judge our every step and move and sometime in life we have to take leap of
faith rather than taking rational decisions in life. I am telling you this
because I been through both justification as well as judging. I took decision
which going to affect me for rest of my life career wise talking, but I did
that because I had faith on my writing skills, and it turns out my decision was
not entirely wrong to begin with I ended up with my first novel. Getting published
is the different story, but it really improved my confidence and now I write
more confidently than I used to in past. But before completing my novel there
was a patch when I judged myself for that decision every single second of my
life, and it thrown me into biggest depression I ever faced. Luckily I had
someone with me to bring me back my confidence, and I owe that person hell of a
lot because that person is the reason am feeling great about myself today.
Now if
you reading this post you may be wondering what is the point here this writer
want to make first he goes on and brag how we all justify and now he tell it’s
a good thing to do. So let me get straight to the point. The point is every time
we justify or judge we do it because we think other might thinking, and want to
ask us this questions or some a**holes may act as your parents, and ask you
such questions without giving s**t about your feelings. And we end up justifying
or judging ourselves, but it will give exact opposite result than why we must
do either one of them in first place. If we judge our self for others we end up
with low confidence and depression, and if we justify for others we might
overlook real problem, and end up hurting our self in some way. For example if
my parents ask me why I am choosing writing over job for this year? I might
actually end up with arguing with them instead of really putting thought into
real problem that should I really choose writing over job or I can do both if
there is a way. I could find a job where I will get chance to write, and I could
really find solution to my problems as well as a way to fulfill my dream, but
if I judge myself then I might give up my lifelong dream of becoming writer and
took a dead end job where I don’t have my heart, and where I don’t have my
heart I might turn to be bad employee and loose that job as well. So now I lost
my passion as well as my job, and to be truthful what ever happen it won’t be
my parents who suffer through it. It will be me who is going to suffer through consequences
of my decision and after I lost my job my parents might blame me for it. It’s not
that far fetched my friends so whatever is the reason which making you justify or
judge yourself do it for yourself not to prove someone you are right and on a
right path
Because others don’t care much about your life because at end of the
day it’s you who living it. Happy or sad it’s you who have to face it every day.
It’s not someone else liver which is getting effected by your drinking problems
so you might want to consider it for your own self. If you changed yourself for
others asked you to judge yourself you may change, but it will last for very
short period of time, and you might became your old self after that short time
of judging is over. So if you really want to make change into your self do it
for right reasons and do it for right person which is you. we want to judge our
self we must do it on our own terms and for valid reasons and if you ask me judging
us for what happened in past even yesterday is nothing but waste of time
because it’s gone its past tense we can’t change it, but we can change what is
about to happen, and consider thinking about our next step and decision than
wasting time over judging or justifying our past decisions.
If you justify or
even judge whatever you do you are doing it for actions, and if you judge, but didn't
changed your habits or justify and end up changing both way its wrong thing to
do which result might affect you in wrong way. All my reason to write this post
is to help you stop ongoing battle inside of you of judging and justifying, and
help you for looking at the problems and questions as they are detaching it
from all the emotional dramas, and helping you look right at the heart of the
problem and find once and for all kind of answer to that problem. So you may
move on to dealing with whatever makes you feel happy in your life. I been
through judging and justifying many times and always end up choosing wrong side,
but after giving lot of thought to my problems rather than seeking reasons for
why they are in my life. I finally found many solutions for my problems, and
you also might find solutions for your problems.
We are not born to feel guilty,
sad, feared, and angry we are here to make a difference and to prove that our existence
mean something, and to find love, and that’s why am writing this blog to help
everyone out there to slightly remove emotional clouds form there heart, and
make them see clear and bright sky. Live happy smile full and loving long life,
and fight your way to the happy part of your life from all the problems and
guilt you are in now. We all deserve to be happy. Stay happy, and make others
happy.
