Couple days ago, I heard someone complaining about how proud a certain human being was (let's say we call him Johnny at the moment). Johnny has an income of over 30000 a month and he was so proud about this that he looks down on the complainer and others.
I took it in Johnny's angle and realise how he can be & should be proud of himself. To earn 30000 a month is something to be proud of (yes although this is very materialistic), he has the right to be proud I guess which is the positive I saw in Johnny despite the complainer's dislike of him. I thought to myself, Johnny has the perfect rights to be proud yet it is his decision to be or not to be proud...
I think, the moral of the story here; is ultimately we do not and have not got the right to judge. And I dare say, I don't think even God has the right to judge someone like Johnny...!!? What in heaven/hell is wrong with being pleased with your achievements? Was God not pleased with his creation before he rested on the 7th day? So, as heavenly as God was also proud about his achievement; who exactly are we to judge?! If we want to judge, let not judge Johnny alone but think about ourselves and possible even God?!
Why do we, human beings like to punish each other and ourselves with jealousy, proud & self doubts? The person who seems to prevent ourselves from happiness and paradise is clearly the image of ourselves. Next time, when you meet little Johnny in your life journey, do be kind and a little more thoughtful because Johnny is a happy guy on earth. What evil would we be commit to stop another person from being just that.... happy?
