Why Judge?

Judgments
Creating a division where is none,
What do you feel when you assume the unknown,
Do you live in constant fear that those whom appear different from you are judging you?
Do you realize judgments are not always negative?
Have you ever consider extending an open arm instead of dwelling in fear,
Have you ever tried not making unfair judgments of others?
Have you ever tried looking the other way and moving on?

.

If I constantly dwell on judgment people make of me, I will not be able to function, I will not be able to live my life, and I will probably resign to my bed for life. If the judgments are positive, I will focus too much attention on maintaining it and if the judgments are negative, I will focus too much on eliminating it. As I am on a path to un-earthing my authentic-self, I will have to look within to define myself not to others, especially since others might consider what I hold dear and valuable unworthy.

I have never met anyone who is exactly like me, I don’t care to meet anyone who is exactly like me, what is the fun of learning and exploring God’s universe if I already know everything; yes if you are exactly like me you should know everything that I know and have all my experiences.
Yes, I do have a lot in common with different people, such ask interests in learning, traveling, philosophy, psychology, and becoming your authentic-self to name the few but even then I find that sometimes our opinions about these this are different, which is very exhilarating.


Everywhere I look these days I see judgment, I am also guilty of it, and we all make assumptions of others before getting to know them. We pass negative judgment about people who have a different skin color as us, or have an accent, or grow up in a different neighborhood, or from a different social class, or are wearing something we do not like. Sometimes our judgments are right on the money and at other times, they are dead wrong. The past couple of month I have watched some unfortunate things happened that resulted from a bad judgment made by someone and all I am wondering is how are the feeling now. I have watched people miss excellent opportunities because of negative judgments. So let us beware of the type of judgment we pass on others because in most cases we ruin our own change for personal, professional and spiritual growth.
