Future simple

I'm David Hoffman filmmaker, and this is a statement I'm going to make about judging things.

I have some really strong feelings about this.

And because I'm a documentary filmmaker, maybe my opinion is different than what you've heard.

I think everybody judges pretty much everything all the time.

I judge how I'm doing right now, which I think is about in eight and 10.

I judge a 1,000,000,000 other things and I suspect you do also and they tell us, Let people be stopped.

The judging mind Don't judge the other person the way they raise their Children.

Because you're judging everything all the time.

So I don't think judging things is the issue.

Plus, I have a problem with that piece of advice.

As a filmmaker, I find and found I get better when I judge everything.

Everything, the light, look, the people, the energy how you feel right now?

Are you doing what you should do in school?

Well, if you look at my comments, virtually every comment is a judgment.

And I find as a filmmaker those judgments make me the filmmaker that I am.

I have to be able to judge everything, and I don't.

By the way, I'm a real pain in the butt when I go to the movie with my family because I'm judging every single scene.

That the sound is all the lighting is so, Baba, I'm judging everything.

So I'm not a lot of fun of the film, and I'm judging television where they have, by the way, we don't Cam, you probably haven't noticed it, But if you watch the detective shows the camera's going to go on like this little bit special little motor or it's going well fakey to make you feel more tense when you're watching this scene.

So I feel judgment and itself is not bad and also can't be avoided.

You know, I had this job working for a big oil company and I was making their movies, and I asked the guy in charge, Why do you hire May?

He said, We don't hire you because you're better than the other guys.

We hire you because you've got to answer 102 100 questions every day.

You're being innocent ones inside your own head, and we think you're 90% right when you answer those questions.

It's a matter of what you do with the judgment.

What do you do with the fact that you're judging everything all the time, and I don't think most of us can change that, and I'm not sure that's all that bad.

For example, I have to judge whether the person is interesting that I'm filming.

Whether they're authentic, are they authentically themselves, whether their story telling kind of people and how good of their stories and what have they missed constantly judging that stuff, How do they look?

Because I'm not really trying to make people look bad.

You're judging everything also, not only in your own life, not only yourself, not only in your family, not only in your home, not only in your community but on TV, on the Web, in my videos.

Do you think you're better than other people?

If so, it's good to notice that that I try not to do.

I try to not make my judgments important so that I'm aware of them.

See whether I'm more valuable than other folk or more important than more smarter, more right.

There are things I can't avoid, you know, I think certain things.

I think that people who are intolerant of other people, I judge them as intolerant of other people.

They don't accept other points of view, which I think America needs right now rather than I'm right.

So my suggestion about this issue of we judge we shouldn't judge.

But we do, judge, is to make it less important in your overall activities and to be aware of the judgments in yourself rather than ignore that noise in your head, make it a part of your life.

I posed it because I'm 78 years old and this YouTube e thing and this camera and my audience have given me the chance to share thoughts with you.

If you didn't find it interesting, you turned it off way before.
