Observations on observation

Observation. It is the fundamental staple in our society upon which all human interaction is built. Observation is the ability to look at someone and make a judgement on a persons character just upon sight alone. Yet when we find ourselves in a would where judgement is a taboo term, one that draws up images of racism, sexists and two faced politicians. But if we all see judgement as so taboo, wouldn’t by definition itself observation be taboo as well? And is that also becomes taboo and our society is based around observation to stabilize and structure it then what does it become? We are told as kids that the ugly duckling can become a beautiful swan, that the monster can be nice, and that the beautiful people are sometimes truly the monsters, and this is not wrong; but why are we all shunned for our observations. In our hypersensitive, white washed, cookie cutter society we stride to all be different in the same way. I’m not saying that racism is right or that when Sherlock Holmes says something about wrong about foreigners that he is right, but i am saying that maybe we could all make our judgments and observations, as we all will regardless of what society says, and instead of using that as our only point of reference take the time to get to know someone. because no matter what anyone says image matters, but its not the only thing that matters. Love who you are, and don’t be ignorant about your observations, use them to better understand the society in which you live. Be thoughtful. Be observant. Be awake.
