RE: Dpoll 38: Should we judge others by our own values?

in #dpoll4 years ago

Vote for yes 70% no 30%. The question is general, but your description are mostly about a country's practice and or cultural difference as I read it. I will give you my answer based on individual aspect.

It's alright to judge in our mind. Somehow it's a natural reaction. We can do our very best to NOT judge, but who is there to ask us not judge? I have a story where a YouTube purposely dress low down go to the car showroom, and test the salesman reaction. As you can guess, in the end nobody served him, the manager order him to leave the premises, and finally one new guy send him a brochure and walked the dressed down man off the premises whilst explaining the term and the vehicle performance. And the show goes as drama as it could, the man make a call and a luxury car drove in and an executive stepped out of the car and bring two bags of cash, the man wanted 3 cars from the salesman who doesn't judge him. What a touching and marvelous story. And then guess what, until now, 7 years, my friends in the car sales tells me they had to handle bunch of dressed down people that acted like they have cash to buy 3 cars 😂

On the side note, judgemental can be good. One does not need to assume you know who they are, all you need to know is, do your part. be the best version of yourself in front of another individual. But somehow you play a guessing game in your mind, it's fun how much the actual answer given by a person compare to your expectation. But if you guess it correctly all the time, dude you're sick. Which means you're too careful and you'll never make friend, because you have already outlined every possibilities of an individual trying to comMunicate with you.

So more than half a time, I think judgemental is alright and we should use it, but the other time which we should not, is voice it out 😅

The story about the car salesman is a very old one. By now no one falls for that anylonger. Not in my country. Rich people may be badly dressed but they speak, walk, act differently. This besides of the fact you are checked if you want to buy a car, a loan is very common and if you pay your car or repairs cash like I do they find it weird and might not trust you either (fake money).
Many car salesman do not accept visa or master card. The visa card is not popular in the Netherlands.

No matter what we judge.
I will be the last one who says I will not. I do not care about what people wear but how they speak, behave and my instinct was always right although I ignored it each time again.

It is the same here on Steem. We judge and that is why we do not read certain posts or people. Might be because of their writing style or the subjects they talk about, the photos we use or what they look like. We judge it is a fact.

Thank you for your voting and story/explanation. I appreciate it. 💕
