It’s Time to Read Ourselves: The Journey of Self-Discovery – AtulMalikram (Author and Political Strategist)

Do you ever find yourself caught in a never-ending cycle of judgment and blame, where your thoughts are consumed by phrases like, “He did this,” “He did that,” and “He shouldn’t have done that”? It’s a mindset that leads us to label others as “bad people” and criticize their thinking, firmly believing that we would have made no mistakes if we had been in their shoes. This habit of constant judgment is not unique; it’s a shared tendency among many individuals who are driven by the desire to prove themselves right and others wrong. However, this way of thinking can have a significant impact on our relationships, often pushing people away and creating an environment of strained connections.

When a person gets to know themselves, they realize they have both good and bad qualities within. There’s no need to look outside for this. People are often more extroverted by nature, and they tend to criticize others’ shortcomings rather than reflect on their own actions. This kind of double thinking doesn’t change the fact that they often see themselves as the best and others as the worst.

People who habitually see the negative in others often become so immersed in this negativity that they can’t see any positives. As mentioned earlier, everyone has both good and bad qualities, but what we choose to focus on is up to us. When we shift our attention towards the positive aspects of others rather than dwelling on the negative, that’s when we can truly grow and become better human beings.

The inclination to perceive negativity in others not only prompts a person to consistently commend their own limited positive traits but also drives them to diminish others by spotlighting their deficiencies. In doing so, they derive immense satisfaction and self-pleasure.

This indicates that when people mock the faults of others, they tend to overlook their own flaws, which are both numerous and perpetual. Those who habitually scrutinize others often exhibit a negative disposition. This inclination to focus on the shortcomings of others not only harms those being observed but also has adverse effects on the observer themselves. Hence, instead of constantly critiquing others, it’s more beneficial to turn the focus inward, self-reflect, and also acquire the skill of assimilating the positive traits and qualities of others into oneself.
