When any of my articles are published on this website or on others, a similar process usually happens; at the end of it, the reader is offered a table of scores so that they can rate the same according to what they "think" they think.
In no way do I criticize this. Moreover, it helps us to assess the interest aroused and how many people have read it. This helps us to be more demanding when it comes to exposing the what, how and why of the topics we send.
Sometimes the scores are not what you expect. Others, we think that an article would be more popular. That happened to me in one of them. The score was below the average of those obtained before. So, I meditated. Maybe this… maybe the other… and in the end what you're reading came out.
I insist and persist, in no way, this is a criticism; simply the scoring system transported me to refer to this topic.
Normally, whatever you do, or how you do it, or why you do it, you will find some manifest judgment or not, but it is usual. Everyone thinks. Not all make judgments, but most do. Few know how to be pampered, and many respond vehemently to it.
How many times have you heard that “what are they going to think of you or of us? If the answer is to act according to what others may think, we limit ourselves, we lose freedom, we lose capacity, we lose will, we lose control, we lose control… little by little we are losing ourselves to transform ourselves into what others, apparently, they want us to be. That is to say, simply: we stop being, to not be. We become actors losing the authenticity of our lives, of our moments, and what is worse, of our thoughts. Somehow we are puppets driven by the invisible threads of the thoughts of others.
Therefore, one has to behave and be, not act, based on what each one is. Otherwise you stop living as you think and end up thinking how you live.
Why does it matter so much what other people think? Yes, think about it for a moment. Why? Do they have so much influence on our will, on our freedom, on our life? Who is in charge of your life, you or what others think?
The only thing you have to keep in mind is, what do you think of yourself? You evaluate your thoughts.
Do you judge yourself? Do you criticize yourself? Are your thoughts for the best for you? What is really important is what she thinks of you. That is what is important and urgent in this case.
Also, what if they think and if they think what happens? (Change the verb to pass for another such as: occur, happen or similar if that does not make sense to you)
Shakespeare claimed that "nothing is good or bad, it is thought that makes it so" And I think he is quite right. What is most beneficial for you may not be for someone else. What pleases and satisfies you the most may not offer the same result for someone else.
Now it only remains to say that regardless of what you think of this article, if you rate it with a more or less note, or if you do not rate it, the important thing is what you think of yourself, without being influenced by what others think of you, well the first, if you can control it, the second is something personal of each one that is outside your domain. Do not let yourself be controlled by what others think, just dominate your thoughts, if you achieve this, you have achieved the best score; and it's not a ten, it's Cum Laudem.
