Con La Misma Vara

No Te Va Gustar's song 'Con La Misma Vara' delves into the themes of judgment, empathy, and the human tendency to criticize others without self-reflection. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who is often misunderstood and judged harshly by society. The phrase 'no obtiene el perdón de Dios' suggests that this individual is seen as morally flawed or beyond redemption in the eyes of others. However, the song challenges this perspective by asserting that this person is not necessarily worse than anyone else, highlighting the hypocrisy in societal judgments.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of measuring others with the same standard ('la misma vara') that one would use for oneself. This metaphorical 'vara' or measuring stick represents fairness and equality in judgment. The song criticizes those who feel superior and sit in judgment of others, suggesting that if they were judged by the same standards, they might not feel so righteous. This is a powerful call for empathy and self-awareness, urging listeners to reconsider their own biases and the way they treat others.

The repeated line 'volve a empezar sin pensar en juzgar' serves as a poignant reminder to start anew without the burden of judgment. It encourages a fresh perspective, one that is free from preconceived notions and harsh criticisms. The song ultimately advocates for a more compassionate and understanding approach to human interactions, reminding us that everyone has their own struggles and that empathy can lead to a more harmonious society.
