Judge Fairly
Judging fairly is one form in itself which is difficult to pursue. Often when we hate someone, we are unable to judge fairly. Too much distortion occurs when we judge people we hate.
In association, I meet people who hate other people. In their eyes, after the arrival of hatred, the best things that come from those who are hated are not considered, instead they are categorized as one of hypocrisy. Those who are hated are people who are born to be wrong.
Vice versa. When we love someone, then we see everything with one eye. The eyes of someone who is in love are often blind, unable to judge where someone's faults are. What should be wrong is justified and what is right is glorified.
Furthermore, humans are often confused in assessing fairly when it relates to themselves. The human ego works how he continues to survive against what is happening around him. Therefore it is not uncommon for us to see people who still justify all the mistakes that occur personally. Often, those mistakes are the most fatal parts that should not be made.
God once said. He once said, "Do not let your hatred of a people make you act unjustly."
How true! Too often, we, our ego, our allies, judge things lamely with selfish eyes. Everything that may be right but when it is done by people we hate will be considered as a mistake.
At some time, I often hear people who sneer at those who do charity work. In their scorn it is said that the benefactors are a bunch of hypocrites! They are dogs in sheep's clothing. I asked, why? why! The group of people said that the benefactors were trying to buy the faith of the people they helped. If that's the case, why don't we just help, instead of sneering at the benefactors who are giving their bit of mercy to some others.
On the other hand, we often insinuate hypocritically to people who are trying to do good. We generalize the problem. One day we accuse this person, that person, hypocritically for the little mistakes they commit. We accuse people with wide headscarves of being hypocrites, and we accuse clerics who try to do good, try to subdue their passions of hypocrisy. We then laughed when we said, "try to have miyabi in front of the ustad, he is also lustful."
Strange! How strange!
How do we judge people like Religious Leaders and try to compare them with Artists. Religious leaders practice polygamy, lawful, and do not deny that humans are creatures that are given lust but humans are given reason to subdue that desire. But we feel more understanding, agreeing to another action where a spectacle of a human being struggling with his lust. We do not consider such things hypocrisy.
Strange! How strange! We are not able to judge fairly.
Fair is the measure we give to something. If the limits of fairness or truth are relative, then we need a benchmark so that the relative becomes absolute, or at least reduces the bias that applies to the name "relative". It depends on which side we see justice.
The question now is, what reference do we use in assessing justice?
"Don't let your hatred of a people make you act unfairly" Friends, try to judge something with justice, our emotions interfere in judging you, so suspend your judgment until logic returns to the front. If you haven't been able to, it's time for us to learn together, try to judge things fairly.
