The Force is Strong With This One
So I survived 2012/12/21. And taking the risk of assuming this is not a Descartian thought experiment, or the bastard child of The Matrix 7.4 and Inception, it looks like everyone else I know did too. For many the “End of the World” has close connotations to Judgement Day. Personally I have no religious disposition(s), and find the idea of a deity steeping to such a level, vulgar. But what I did realise, is that when it comes to passing judgement(s), no gods come close to homo sapiens. Yes, our brains are biologically wired to make impressions about others in milliseconds. But we are too self absorbed and lazy to after this first impression (mostly informed by decades of cultivating stereotypes, ignorance and misinformation), to stop and start engaging our frontal lobes, and just think a bit further. We shouldn't worry about gods judging us, we need to start worrying about being judged in the same callous, reckless way that we judge others. They, Them, You People, Their Type. But we are also our own worst judges. Mostly either far too strict or far too lenient. Hypothetically speaking, we have and are perpetually dragging our entire species through hell. Judge things for yourself. But judge with care. Let the only judge you account to be yourself. However, not the self behind all the façades and masks. Not the one hiding behind the fake Louis Vuiton handbag, or the La Cost golf shirt. And if you are able to look that person in the eye, and judge them as fairly as you should judge everyone else, and you can accept and love them, then you need never fear the judgement of any man nor god.
This is my first post - hope it conforms to all conventions.
