Hey you!
It has come to my attention that you are absolutely beautiful and deserve a life that you so dream of, and below you will find information that has/will/does have a direct influence on you and your expectations of yourself.
This is a vital piece of information to understand, not to mimic, not to identify with but to understand and see the application and grow beyond. Please read in full or you will miss vital pieces.
The Panopticon
The panopticon is a type of prison, theory invented by Jeremy Bentham. The concept is simple,
Build cells which are in consistent vision of the "all seeing eye" , the tower.
The purpose of this new structure was to have the convincts self regulate themselves.
The thinking being.....what would YOU not do if you thought that somebody was watching your every second of every day. I bet you could think of a few.
Now this concept/prison was invented in 1785. ( Hardly new...relatively )
Let's fast forward to today keeping in mind that very same theory.
Judgement .
Do you judge people? Of course you do!....
We might try not to, we might know it’s wrong....heck we might not even care. However, what is judgement?
The discrimination of another person’s choices/abilities/qualities. Plain and simple.
We judge because we disagree or perhaps feel that they could have done something better, can't believe their doing that, think that way or act in that manner. So we decide to JUDGE them.
For a lot of people judgement is second nature, inherent in everything they do.
So for those who judge and who assume everybody judges then how do they modify their own personal behaviour?
They modify it in a way so they do not get hassled, or do not get noticed so they can just live hassle free in a very easy, beautiful life. ( U2's Single, "Get On Your Boots" explains it nicely. )
The Point
The difference between the Panopticon and prison model and the theory of judgement is different how?
Is judgement or the ACT of judging very similar to the Panopticon model but instead of 1 tower....We are all a tower for each other ?
Have you ever stopped and thought how your judgement may be indirectly or directly responsible for another person’s comfort?
What about your own?
What do YOU do that you wouldn't do if you did not care about what others people judgement meant?
Thanks for Taking The Time!
