Proper Judgment?

Each one of us has its own set of misgivings whereby we often tend to be sorry in the end. Each one of us has its own keepsake of regrets whereby we learn but in the end, we forget the lesson. And, definitely, each one of us has its own plethora of complexities whereby in the end, we end up with these misgivings and regrets.

Needless to say, every aftermath, we convince ourselves that we should have known better and we should have judged the situation better and that we could have turn up things in a much better way – and not like a rooster who lost his fight.

Most of the time, we end up seeking solace and comfort in the four corners of our room, convinving ourselves that everything is fine and that this is all but a no winner no losser situation.

We all have to bear in mind that proper judgment may not be as proper as it may seem, it may just be a means to justify the ends – talk about Machiavelli, or it may be more of a practice up to the point that we end up in pure dependence to our judgments that we already closed the doors to entertain some other factors for reconsideration – talk about being too dogmatic of our own set of beliefs.

If we dig deeper into the uses of proper judgment, we can see that a lot of us would use it as a justification of their so-called “proper judgments”. Take for example a person who delays doing something because in his or her own proper judgment, it is still not the right time. Proper judgment in this sense has been utilized to justify that if a task is to be done immediately, there would be repercussions – this is the most obvious implication if we look at it.
