Everyone has a USP (Unique selling point). Yes, even the most obtuse, vapid and moronic person (in your opinion) that comes to your mind will have something to offer if you think hard enough. Then why is it that some 'talents' are considered more valuable than the others? Playing good football is always welcome, but not at the cost of that B grade in mathematics. To be able to play guitar well is only appreciated till you retain your rank in the class. And if someone is good at wrestling or kabaddi, sorry man better luck next life because these things are way too unconventional to be even considered. Why so much judgement? There is such rampant judgement in today's world that many of us complete this journey of life unconsciously without once discovering our true selves.
When it comes to employment there is judgement, sexual orientations are judged viciously, but the worst and the most harassing form of judgement is the judgement of thought process. It kills ideas, and a person is nothing without ideas, in fact humanity is nothing without progressive ideas. In school, we are 'taught' how to think and react to situations, something that we must learn and adopt individually, this is what creates uniqueness. Today, we are a herd of sheep. 9/10 people will give the same answers in an interview to questions based on ethics. Where is the diversity? And the screwed up part is that if they don't give those answers, they're deemed unfit most times. Because even the employers do not want someone with free thought process, it will be tough to tame him. When they say 'out of the box' thinking, be assured they mean only in terms of monetary profit for the organisation and not in a holistic way. We are taught solutions to problems rather than to stimulate our thought process.
And no one is judgement free, NO ONE. There are people, for instance the religious ones who claim that homosexual behaviour is an act of defiance to God. These people are dangerous. But there is another sect of people who are further dangerous, the ones who 'claim' to be judgement free, but secretly judge, secretly hate.
People judge others on political opinions, they come to blows if you don't support the same political party. I have used this example a lot of times and will use it again. If you see poop on the sidewalk, do you jump into it and wrestle against it and argue as to why it's there? Or do you just choose to ignore it and walk on?
Why can't it be the same with ideas?
