Isaiah 11:4 · World English Bible
but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.
There is a way of seeing that owes nothing to opinion. When you are truly present, you no longer judge others through the filter of your own fear and wanting.

EGO & BEING
There is a way of seeing that owes nothing to opinion. When you are truly present, you no longer judge others through the filter of your own fear and wanting. You see what is, and this clear seeing is what righteousness means. The poor and the meek, those the world overlooks, are seen at last for who they are.
The wicked are undone not by a sword but by breath and word. Unconsciousness cannot survive in the light of awareness. You need not attack what is false in yourself or the world. You bring the stillness of presence to it, and in that light, what was false loses its power and falls away.
Ego v. Being lens
Who are you seeing through your fear rather than seeing as they are?
A still pond shows the moon exactly. Stir it and you see only your own stirring and call it the moon.
Strip away your opinion about the thing and what is left is the thing. Most of what wounds you is the layer you added.
The old prayer asks to be led from darkness into light. Not to defeat the dark, only to be brought where it cannot stay.
