Everyone does it, but are you aware of the impact it has on you?

It is a clear part of human nature to look at other people, how they act, and the things they do and make judgments about this.

Often, these are fairly minor and kept to yourself. But then, if you are not mindful of this, it will get out. This is where gossip and general conversation about other people comes from.

No matter how hard you try not to judge other people, you are still doing it. This tends to come from the need to compare yourself to other people. It also comes from the process of seeking to be your best, but along the way to not be emulating someone you do not wish to be like.

Why do you do this? How come everyone does this? Part of this is just human nature. People tend to be comparative, competitive, and in being at all analytical apply their experience and perception to others.

You have a unique experience and perception of life, the Universe, and everything. The places you have been and lived, the environments, communities, education, upbringing, relationships, associations, and everything else that has been experienced by you influences and impacts your world view.

This is true for everyone. But due to the relative size of the reality you occupy, this can be difficult to see.
