SELF CRITIQUE

What makes you different from the crowd? Or are you happy to follow the herd? After all there's  a considerable amount of security being hidden in the herd of humanity, away from the spotlight but possibly believing you are so much more. Many people feel they are 'undiscovered' ( who by and what exactly for is un clear) simply because they have a nagging feeling they should be something more. But the question is how do you become something more without having the herd recognise you as something more and in so doing draft you back into the herd. Can you be something more than you are without the recognition of others... Just purely by self recognition...and what actually is more, when would you know that you've achieved it ...fame ...fortune....the adulation of the masses or interviews on TV ..does all this make you something more than the man or woman next to you, is this the way to realise your full potential and feed the need to be right, to be superior?

Conversations amuse me purely because people spend so much time belittling others or criticising behaviour ( not their own) to gain energy, to feel empowered by voicing a criticism.... who do they think they are , why would they say that, that's not what they said they would do, that's not what i was told, why would they do that, be that ...sitting in judgement of others... we all do it especially when we are offended and it is a very bad habit. There is no rule book on behaviour other than social etiquette, but most of the negative critique comes from not understanding other people's view points, or more importantly setting  oneself up above others. 

Before criticising... step into the other persons shoes, think with their thoughts and try to understand ....see if you can ...it's quite a challenge.
