Quote by Albert Camus

People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.

People hasten to judge in order not to be judged themselves.

Summary

This quote highlights a common phenomenon in human behavior: the tendency to pass judgement on others in order to deflect attention from one's own flaws or shortcomings. It suggests that people may be quick to criticize or form opinions about others as a defense mechanism to avoid being the subject of judgement or scrutiny themselves. By focusing on the perceived faults of others, individuals may attempt to create a sense of superiority or distance themselves from possible criticism. This quote reminds us to be mindful of our tendency for judgment and encourages empathy and understanding instead.

Human life is not some sort of race or game in which each person should start from an identical mark. It is an attempt by each man to be as happy as possible. And each person could not begin from the same point, for the world has not just come into being; it is diverse and infinitely varied in its parts. The mere fact that one individual is necessarily born in a different place from someone else immediately insures that his inherited opportunity cannot be the same as his neighbor's. The drive for equality of opportunity would also require the abolition of the family since different parents have unequal abilities; it would require the communal rearing of children. The State would have to nationalize all babies and raise them in State nurseries under 'equal' conditions. But even here conditions cannot be the same, because different State officials will themselves have different abilities and personalities. And equality can never be achieved because of necessary differences of location.

It wasn't like there was some obvious change. Actually, the problem was more a lack of change. Nothing about her had changed - the way she spoke, her clothes, the topics she chose to talk about, her opinions - they were all the same as before. Their relationship was like a pendulum gradually grinding to a halt, and he felt out of synch.
