Does knowledge correlate with being judgmental?
Does knowledge Have any relationship With judgmental? More than knowledge It is the attitude that Develops through the knowledge That means that Knowledge Is ultimately A tool that we Will use based on our attitude So If say somebody Has medical knowledge Medical knowledge can be used to A doctor can use medical knowledge to heal a patient But the same doctor Can actually Use the medical knowledge to complicate The disease of the patient so that they can get more Money from the patient So knowledge is simply a tool And it is our attitude That determines how we use that knowledge So Some of us have By default a judgmental reality That's just the way we are It's not necessarily bad We all have different conditionings Some of us have a more judgmental mentality If we have that Then our knowledge often Reinforces that judgmental mentality But if we use The knowledge consciously Conscientiously To open our minds To understand that Actually In one sense In the Kena Upanishad It is said that One who thinks he knows He does not know One who thinks that he does not know He knows That means that actually the more knowledge we get The more we understand How complicated Life is How many subtleties and nuances And shades of grey There can be in every situation So The more knowledge we get If that is the way our knowledge evolves Not so much in terms of just see how much I know But the more knowledge we get The more how complicated the world is Then that knowledge Engenders new knowledge Just like the scientific knowledge of the space At one level people may say that We have conquered space We have gone to this celestial body That celestial body We have conquered space The other level If we consider The more we have come to know about outer space We just understand how tiny we are As compared to the vastness of space The earth is like a tiny marble In a vast Vast Almost infinite space So the more we have come to know about outer space The more we have to come We have come to know how little we know about outer space Because there is so much more to know So like that Knowledge can also bring humility And when that happens Then the judgmental attitude goes down So it will depend on our basic attitude How we use our knowledge But if we Especially Get knowledge From those who are non-judgmental Or we associate with those who are non-judgmental Then our basic attitude Can be changed And then that knowledge Instead of leading to judgment Judgment happens when we Think we know But if there is humility Humility in the physical domain means We bow down We fold our hands in respect Humility in the intellectual domain means We are ignorant That I don't know At least there is a possibility That I may not know the full story That is humility in the intellectual domain So if we get that humility in the intellectual domain Then our knowledge Will make us less judgmental Did that answer your question? Yes.
