Better or worse?
You are who you are as I am who I am.
Will that change if my next interaction with a fellow human being is not so witty, is not so smart, or is downright stupid, or even "evil"?
Or will it change if my next interaction is very kind and compassionate?
If you are who you are and I am what I am, then how can any of it really matter?
If I constantly judge myself, and the judgment rendered has value only until my next interaction where I judge myself again (which could be as soon as one minute!) - then who am I? Is there a I beyond all this somewhere in there?
Whether God judges us or not, we certainly are busily doing so. Defining ourselves based on these judgments - and living in a state of unremitting, low intensity terror.
Know this to be a form of madness resulting entirely due to our complete and unconscious identification with the world of form, and the yearning for connectedness with our selves.
