I will be sharing my writings here, quotes and poems. Some content might talk about Suicide and desth with graphic references. I will mark such posts at the start of posting it, so that any reader doesnt get triggered.

Never judging is impossible, so judge, judge everyone to be human and understand that no one is inherently bad or good. Judge them to be human, who do their best all the time, who are doing all they can, who dont control who they are or what they do or even what they become, because in this world I believe we cant choose what happens to us and makes us who we are and also the reactions we give and the variations of the reactions we contain, so the belief of having free will is absurd to me. We all can be anyone if we have the exact same circumstances and qualities as they do, we could become great or criminal, we can be anything or nothing.
When we judge others, we are judging ourselves in a sense that we are setting some standards for ourselves which we also all too often arent able to meet. So its an important part of my mental formation to not judge anyone too unkindly, because we all in the end are human and just doing all we can, even if its the most unkind of acts. So, by not judging unkindly, I send kindness my own way. Same goes for what we say to others, its in a way a reflection of what we say to ourselves.
Some people may see it as "giving up" control. the belief I have that we dont control anything we do or that happens to us. I couldn't see it as more wrong, because you cant give up what you never had. Its an acceptance, of being human and powerless, weak, pregnable and at the mercy of nature and the universe. Its an acceptance for me of the reality of this world, or at least the reality I believe it to be and one that makes most sense to me.
It makes sense to me, helps me be a more peaceful, kinder and understanding and wiser human.
