Degrading other people’s thoughts, words, actions, or work will not improve your life in any meaningful way because you’re basically saying what you have to offer is not good enough. For example.
I’ve been listening to a relatively famous nutritionalist recently and really enjoy the way they discuss and share information about what’s good for you to eat, and what you should avoid if you’re not feeling well. During my scrolling, I encountered another nutritionalist. It was a video approximately two minutes in length. During the two minutes, this nutritionalist didn’t share anything about their own work. They spent two minutes saying that the other nutritionalist ideas were out of date.
Needless to say, I wasn’t impressed by the nutritionalist who tried to degrade the other person’s work. In my eyes, they didn’t have enough belief in the quality of their own advice, so they tried to bring the other person down to their level. Believe me, it didn’t have the desired effect.
That’s just one example, I could have easily used the “do you see what they’re wearing? Or, I wouldn’t be caught dead in that outfit.” Those sentences will be said by someone who’s very insecure.
Do you know where they’re from? Is another popular way of determining someone’s character. I know it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway, you can’t label people based on the land where they originated. That’s the equivalent of believing that every Irish person is a roaring alcoholic with a great sense of humour.
Your life is not improved by degrading others because your subconscious mind doesn’t know who you’re talking about. For all it knows, you’re insulting yourself. It’s for that reason that you need to improve the quality of your thoughts if you hope to improve the quality of your life.
