Someone once said, "no matter how good you are, people will judge you according to their insecurities".
1000% true
And every time we say "people" we mean an antagonist with all our defects that lives in our minds.
What one person envisions of the average "people" is completely different of the vision of "people" of someone else.
Trying to be anything for the sake of approval and validation from outside sources is obsolete.
Make no judgement where you have no compassion.
It's better to judge with knowledge.
Judge the crowd more harshly than you do the individual.
There is a difference between judgement and insult. The two are often conflated when they shoul'nt be.
