Condemned

2. the action of condemning someone to a punishment; sentencing.

Who do you think you are? So perfect in mind, spirit and body that you have a right to lie based on your own personal sense of righteous indignation and point your boney fingers at others? What’s that? You don’t care?  You have the right? Your gut tells you that you are correct on every level and you of course trust your gut?

It’s not your “gut” OR maybe your gut should be telling you is that what you actually are is afraid and largely warped by society to fit in.

Condemning judgment is one of the possible vicissitudes of a repressed instinctual impulse. It is in fact the most highly elaborated one, since it involves neither flight nor a refusal to give access to the intruding element, but, on the contrary, since it is a judgment, acknowledging the existence of the impulse that will later be condemned. – https://www.encyclopedia.com/psychology/dictionaries-thesauruses-pictures-and-press-releases/judgment-condemnation

The psychology of condemnation involves a swift, often automatic emotional impulse—such as disgust or anger—rather than purely rational judgment, often driven by the need to uphold social norms or reduce personal anxiety. It frequently functions as a social tool to protect moral boundaries, separating the “righteous” from the “culpable,” and can manifest both externally against others and internally as self-condemnation.

Only a completely unconscious person enjoys condemning. What is the psychology of condemning? Most people in the world have fallen into condemning. What is its psychology? Its psychology is clear and very simple. Every person wants the status for his ego that I am the greatest. It is very difficult to prove this. It is difficult to prove that I am the greatest because everyone else is trying to prove it. And they are all trying to prove only one thing that they are the greatest. How many people can be the greatest? Such fierce fighting ensues that it is almost impossible to win. Who can win? Every person will fight against billions of others. Defeat is certain.

In this, all will be defeated. In this, no one can ascend. So the mind finds an easy remedy. The mind says: it may be difficult to prove that I am the greatest but it is easy to prove that no one is greater than me.

Remember it is always very difficult to prove the affirmative of anything. A negative statement is always easy. For instance if you want to prove that god exists it is very difficult. Your life will have to pass through the fire of austerities. Even then it is unknown when the proof will happen ??? in this lifetime, in many lives? But that god does not exist can be proven right now. There is no problem. – OSHO, Death is Divine

Condemn or Condone?

Do you aspire to be a good person? Most people would probably say yes—believing you are a good, honest, fair, and virtuous person allows you to see yourself in a positive light. To be a good person, most people try to act morally, abiding by laws and following social norms. When immorality does occur, we tend to harshly judge transgressors for violating our deeply held moral values. However, if we ourselves engage in immoral actions, we tend to reinterpret the events or surrounding circumstances to justify our own bad behavior, therefore avoiding damage to our moral self-image.

The people we surround ourselves with also impact our views of our moral self, and we therefore tend to include people in our innermost circle whom we believe are good and moral as well. But what happens when the people we care most about—our romantic partner, friends, or family members—behave badly? Do we follow the same pattern of responses that we do for the self and rationalize their bad behavior? Or do we feel especially threatened by their bad actions in such a way that we judge them even more harshly than we typically would?

In a study (Forbes and Stellar, https://spsp.org) to hypothetical wrongdoings (for example, spreading a false rumor about a coworker whom they did not like) done by a close other or a stranger, responses were more lenient, judging the transgressor as less immoral and experiencing less anger towards them, when the transgressor was a loved one compared to a stranger. At the same time, participants took on some of the burden of the close other’s misbehavior, experiencing more shame, guilt, and embarrassment in response to their close other’s bad actions compared to a stranger’s. This works highlights the importance of social context in moral perception. Who a bad actor is, beyond what they do, impacts how we respond to bad behavior. We judge close transgressors leniently, but at the same time, feel worse about ourselves. –https://spsp.org/news-center/character-context-blog/condemn-or-condone-responding-when-loved-ones-misbehave

“If we condemn, oppress, or actively view others/ourselves in a negative light, it does not bring any sense of peace or acceptance. It further builds up walls between people and within ourselves which hinder our search for peace. Coming to acceptance with our thoughts can become a powerfully transformative mentality.” – Carl Jung
