I just read an article on Beliefnet.com and thought I'd share a paragraph that had me nodding my head:
"The Bible admonishes, "Judge not lest ye be judged." But in my experience, it's impossible not to judge. We all do it, all the time. And it hurts us far more than those we judge. It isolates us, makes us small, and bars us from our spiritual essence."
Everyone, everyone, everyone is judgemental. Our brains are wired to judge the words and actions of other people. The trick is to not let judging others consume us.
The article goes on to offer a very practical approach to letting go of judgemental feelings and there is related article called The Seven Steps to Forgive and Forget which is also very good.
Read the articles and let me know what you think.
