Who Are We To Judge?

3 06 2008

Admit it. All of us, at some point in time, had been mean or unreasonable to someone else with our thoughts, words or actions. It could be due to bad experiences, or just simply a lack of awareness that caused that negative reaction. We were angry, upset, jealous, egoistic, afraid … and we used emotions to justify judgment. When we allow negative emotions to take control of our thoughts, words and actions, we blind ourselves from the truth, and results can be devastating. Judgment that is not based on truth is actually “misjudgment”. Often the hurt we impose on others through misjudgment goes deep.

We mirror our inner selves with the things we say or do - all that is good and not-so-good. MisJudgment is often related to a lack of openness and awareness within ourselves. How many times have you accused someone of something, only to realize later that you’ve misjudged him or her when you were given the opportunity to see things from their perspective?

I learn a great deal from every client whom I do readings for. I was given the opportunity and honor to delve deeper at Soul level to see what truly makes them who they are, why they are prone to certain ways of thinking or acting. These are very humbling experiences that encourage me to look at things beyond the surface. Do not judge what you do not know.

Take a few moments to watch this video. It will tell you more than I am able to.

Blessings,
Irene

This post and especially the video caused me to pause and reflect at all the time I have torn another down rather than built them up. It seems like we hurt and h judge those close to us the most. Thanks for this. I have some amends to make.

Hi Tom, nice of you to stop by and comment. Yes I do agree that those closest to us tend to be the ones at the receiving end most of the time. Hopefully with awareness that will shift very quickly.

I agree with Tom, like the old cliche states, “we always hurt the ones we love.” Perhaps this is due to the fact that we expect unconditional love from the very same people we hurt.

I just don’t understand how no matter how hard we try, we seem to keep falling in the same trap of misjudgements.

Hi Chris, I feel we keep falling into the same trap because we are emotional beings. Expecting unconditional love is one thing, failing to give unconditional love is the other. Becoming non-judgmental may not be easy, but there’s definitely less harm trying it than going the other way. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for posting this video, Irene. It brought tears to my eyes several times.

It’s so wonderful to see the humanity in people, the real people behind the social masks we all wear.
