If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity
I recently read this quote:
Never be judgemental towards other people's beliefs. You might have a wrong perception.
Right. This made me think a lot. Because I see everything from a scientific point of view. And science is based on evidence based facts.
And what if I find people with lots of superstitious beliefs? What if these beliefs are causing harm to everybody around?
What if these people with irrational beliefs scold everybody around for causing something bad because of their 'nazar or evil eyes'? I saw some people cursing others because their favourite heroes or heroines suffered a fracture due to a fall. "It is because of " buri nazar"' , they say, " Let those eyes that caused this to our hero burst and die!"
It is very uncomfortable to hear those accusations and curses for the things people didn't do! These were based on false imagiantions!
When I told them not to do this because their assumptions were not true and that there 's no "buri nazar" in reality and tried to educate them softly on these aspects, they all started to fight with me, refusing to even consider my explanations!
How can I not judge such people? These people 're 'educated' , not illiterates. But still they 're unable to come out of their conditioned minds, fears and what not that are controlling their minds totally.
When you analyse something critically from a scientific point of view, based on facts and evidence, your perception need not always be wrong!
How can you then avoid being judgemental? When others around you are suffering like this?
If you just keep quiet, your silence makes people more irrational! And the world suffers as a result.
“If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.”

So I realized it is impossible not to be judgemental when there are bad things occurring around you.
When you have critical thinking and a scientifically inclined mind.
When you are very confident about your abilities to judge correctly, it is okay to take a stand and give someone a piece of your mind!
Any objections?
