Why We Judge Others (and What It Costs Us)

Do people judge to fit in? And I think it's a very cultural thing, I'm telling you, because— but in saying that, it feels I'm judging. Because you might think it is the right thing to do, or you might think what is allowed becomes culture. And that is the fundamental truth. That is how I would explain culture to a 5-year-old or a 50-year-old. Culture is what gets repeated because culture is what is allowed. So in my family growing up, if I have seen people criticizing, dissing each other, judging, then feeling good, then the other person also feels good. And there is this cycle. Then I am no more looking at judgment as a bad thing. For me, judgment is the top order skill set to have in school, in college. And you will see, Utkarsh, I am not saying anything which is so out of the box. No, but then you will see that people who really do this, they do it everywhere. They are the people whom I call, they have a problem for every solution. Like really, I mean, you know what I mean? Like whether it is, you know, you're judgmental or you're critical, and then you are the most critical about yourself. Most because inside allyship hasn't happened. Yeah, love it. Love it. Authenticity hasn't happened.
