Marcus realized that we make judgments about everything. But instead of making a pure judgment, we make value-judgments.
We add a personal twist to our judgment. In the above example, Marcus talks about when something bad that happens to you. In that case, you can say, “So and so happened to me. And that hurt me.”
The last sentence is the value-judgment part. So when you drop that last part, you don’t let the bad thing to make an impact on you. The event merely happened. The end.
Let’s say you lose your job. What’s worse? The actual event of losing your job? Or you, worrying that you will never find a new job. Of course, it’s the last part—the worrying.
When you make a judgment like that and give meaning to events, you’re not making a pure judgment. So remember to look at everything that happens to you for what it is.Share
