Do You Throw Stones and Live in a Glass House?
The irony inherent in this cliché represents close-minded people who tend to judge others despite being guilty themselves.
I’ve recently found myself in a situation where some peers have taken a stance against another peer due to hearsay. Without getting into the gory details, there are ultimatums being made, demanding the removal of this third peer from our group.
I am appalled at this intolerance.
Have you ever judged someone for doing something you are guilty of doing yourself? If you have, you might not want to accept or even admit it.
What drives us to believe that when we do something it’s OK, but when others do it they are in the wrong? Why do we allow ourselves to throw stones at others when we live in a glass house ourselves?
The first answer is the classic subject-object split explained by quantum physics. You are you, and because you are you, you are the most important thing to you.
Everything else is secondary to you.
In fact, you can’t prove anyone else is really there, because all you truly have is your consciousness of them. It is very difficult for the average person to reach into another’s consciousness.
So we each have our own consciousness and we each think we are the most important thing in our world. Of course, you can love your children more than yourself, and give up your life to save your spouse, but ultimately you are alone in your knowledge and understanding of those around you.
This makes it easy to dismiss what you do as valid while someone else doing the same thing is “taking advantage”. It’s part of your nature.
What I’ve discovered, while undergoing the process of self development over the past 5 years, culminates in my upcoming book. One of the lessons I share is the understanding that we each have our own particular neural net, and because of this, we each will view the same thing differently.
The next time you step up to throw a stone of judgement, stop and reassess yourself.
Should your house be the shattered shelter instead?
