On criteria, in the wild
I’m travelling at the moment in a very busy tourist spot. Everything is turned up a notch: loud music, lots of partying, minimal clothing, people moving quickly through places that clearly mean something to someone.
What’s been interesting is noticing my own reactions as I move through it all. I can feel myself quietly sorting what feels like too much, what feels respectful, what feels a bit off.
It has made me more aware of how much those responses are shaped by my own values and conditioning. What looks completely normal to one person can feel jarring to another. What feels carefree to some can land as careless to someone else.
I keep wondering how often what we call good, appropriate, or acceptable is really just the set of criteria we’ve been carrying, often without realising it.
I’m curious, when you notice yourself reacting to how others are moving through the world, what do you think your values are telling you about what good looks like?
