“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path." -Paulo Coelho
It is human nature to judge others. Whether its because their style is different than yours, or because you don't agree with the choices they make, everyone judges. I will admit that I have done my fair share of judging, sometimes without even knowing the situation. Recently I've become friends with a couple people who I used to be extremely judgmental towards, and its got me thinking.
Why do we judge people?Is it because it makes us feel better about ourselves?
Or is it because we find it entertaining to discuss someone else's faults?
I mean, no one likes being judged, yet we find it perfectly acceptable to judge others.
Well, I'd like to kick this social habit.

Holly this is why you are my best friend. You realize your faults and work to overcome them. haha.
These are very mature thoughts. It is the most fundamental call we have to be human, to let go of judgement. But, it's very, very hard. cn
What if we're appointed as a legal judge? Can we judge then or are judges not a part of this?
