Sometimes We Just Have to Practice
It's said that you can learnt anything, should you practice it enough. I do have a tendency to moan that I can't juggle, but it's only because I haven't *practiced* juggling. I'm awful at ball sports, but it's only because I refuse to play ball sports because - well, boring. But I know full well that if I trained my brain and body to throw spinning chainsaws through the air, I'd be just super at it, if missing a few fingers. I'm good at stand up paddle boarding and yoga, but it's because I've devoted a lot of time and energy to it. 

We become good at the things we love because we love them, and because we are good at them, we often love them. 

But how much time do we dedicate to practice different sorts of habits, such as compassion or non judgement? 

I used to think that these were just qualities that we had, like being born with arms and legs and eyes. How difficult could it be to be compassionate, kind, loving? 

As I've got older, I realise that these important human qualities need to be *nurtured*, just as you'd tend a plant or a baby animal. 

Sure, we possess the *ability* to be compassionate and kind, but sometimes it's not our *first reaction*. 

We're often operating on a knee jerk level to the world around us, based on *samskaras* - all the stories and narratives of our life experiences, and past life experiences perhaps, that create unconscious patterns. The more we repeat these judgements, the more they become like stone, so we react without thinking, often to our detriment. Our ego loves to act based on these samskaras, comparing everything we experience with what we've experienced before, negative or positive. The trick is to use our *intellect* to judge rather than the ego. The ego will judge impulsively. It's quick reaction, often immediate, judging people on how they look, speak, act. The more we allow this, the more it happens. We judge without paying attention to *why* we might be judging and what the effect of this might be, or whether we are even *right* - and how subjective 'right' might be. The worst thing is that it separates us from others, focussing on *differences* rather than similarities - that person is *less* or *more* than us, whether they're prettier, uglier, richer, poorer - a lesser kind of person than us. And the more we do it, the more separate we become, solidifying samskara more in our beings.

> **“Through the practice of the eight limbs of Yoga, the impurities of the mind dwindle away and there dawns the light of wisdom, leading to self-realization.” - Sutra 2.28, Yoga Sutras of Patanjali**

The more we sharpen the intellect, the more we can abolish the tendency to judge. The more we move away from judgement, or the more we notice what it is our mind is doing, the more we can remove ourselves from reacting in ways that can be damaging to ourselves and others. 

And it *is* a practice. We have to be careful of reprimanding - judging - ourselves when we get it wrong. I often think it's okay to *think* something, but as long as we don't react and work to adjust our thinking, the process becomes quicker so that eventually, our first thought is compassion or the light of wisdom, seeing things as they really are rather than what our samskara cause us to imagine them to be.

I don't *like* it when I act in a way that is a result of my ego, of the stories that it tells about people and situations. I often feel shame when I get it wrong or I find out more information that gives me a clearer picture. How awful you can feel when you judge someone badly and then realise that they've been having a difficult time in their personal lives, or you don't have the entire story to understand their behaviour. I don't like being manipulated to believe a story about the world or myself by the media, by society and culture. It's why a meditation practice is important, so I'm always curious about the fluctuations of the mind, probing and discovering why it is I have that particular aversion or attachment, observing from a distance, and working to letting it go, or at least letting it be. It's a life long practice, because this process of judgement is happening all the time. But I find that if I'm practicing noticing, if I'm paying attention, I can react less - violently? - to the situation at hand. Because judgement is a kind of violence, robbing people of their dignity, separating them from us, rather than working toward union and oneness. 

The more I practice, the easier it becomes. 

It's a fierce act of resistance to the stories that imprison and bind us, and that separate us from our true selves.

Que grata y hermosa reflexión, creo que acallar el ego y saber que posición estoy al respecto del juicio es lo primordial para poder tener relaciones saludables con nosotros mismos y los demás, la transgresión es parte de un inconsciente colectivo, por tanto considero que es preciso  hacer miradas profundas de nuestra propia humanidad en reflexión de como estamos dentro de la convivencia que al fin de cuenta es lo que nos mantiene conectados a la vida.   FELIZ SEMANA!

I have few words to express how amazed I was at this writing.

I agree with every word you mention there, with every thought.

It has been said before:

>Practice makes the master.

If you practice complaining, if you practice judging, if you practice suffering before the "negative" that your sankharas show you, then you become a master of complaining, of judging, of suffering before what you think is happening (although it is really a mirage).

If you practice being compassionate, if you practice being loving, if you practice being kind, attentive, then you will become a master of compassion, love, kindness and attention.

The question I ask myself then is:

#### What are you practicing today?

I remember 1 persons who's doing bad things to me here in hive. I did not do any bad to him but he continue Downvoting my post without any good reason. My wife and my friend told me that, he just want to make me mad and angry. I hate that Filipino GAY, he is the hiveph president! A demon atheist! Pure negative!

My garden make me positive. ❤️

Well said! And practice we must!
I like your gentle approach to making change and your focus on being loving, kind and compassionate which is not always easy.

I got a good lesson one time which had me wanting to become more aware and dig deeper to be truly compassionate - 
I had thought I was a fairly compassionate person but through an incident working with a child who was being difficult, I saw that I wasn't truly being compassionate but I was liking the challenge of getting kids through difficult times. 
It was an eye opener for me and a bit humbling. I'm grateful it opened my eyes so I can find that compassion that's within me.

I've adopted the practice of doing more checking in with myself which helps with those speedy more reactive ways of being.

Lovely response - thanks for sharing!

I tend to think i do not judge but question , where the question sometimes becomes the judge , i am sorry if i ever made a to savage comment on you , can't help it , for i am a self-destructive savages animal of a person at times . 
The ongoing pushed woke narrative will only make me worse , love me or hate me , but please do not discard me , ... we all struggle to communicate , we all must have  change to learn . ;-)

now c'mon @sunsetjesus , communicate your dislike , like a grown up . Ill promise to go gently on you .. take you apart on a plushy pillow while wearing cloves .

I love your comments - they are witty, intelligent and often funny too! Thanks for stopping by! 

I don't mind about the DV, whoever it is has their own cross to bear, excuse the pun.

Great! Nice to see how you focus on practice! Reminds me how I used to practice stretching my mind in acceptance... all the way until I tried to understand cult leaders, dictators, slave traders, and the like! So I had to come back a bit, and acknowledge that yes, at some point we need to judge. The question is just how, under what circumstances. Still, its not easy, and reaching any definite conclusion has to come with a good amount of scrutiny. This is why I never can reach a clear answer for these type of QOTW questions.

yeah we really do need to put in the time and effort to be more understanding and compassionate, working on ourselves is the same as working on a relationship. You get out what you put in! Love your reflections on this question and agree wholeheartedly xxx

My first career was fashion photography and I just started doing it, ,testing, I never had any lessons and I ended up shooting for conde naste and other magazines and getting an agent. I then worked in blockchain for a bit and within a year I was doing talks on panels.  I then decided to become a painter and I am doing the same thing now.  So many people never get started at all because they don't put themselves out there till they are 'perfect' and that never happens unless you learn, mostly on the job. If you just get going and learn as you go one day you just slip into being a professional in that field. I guess its a bit fake it till you make it.
