I Do___ and I Think All of Us Should

I think the danger is that when we judge people we tend to make assumptions about them that may not be true and therefore reflects upon them our stereotyping of who they are or what we think they are.



I agree that we judge people and we always will, but our judgment should be based upon mutual respect for one and other and not for our perceived notions. I feel that we should only judge a person by the measure of their character and nothing else.

It’s called common sense. Use common sense to keep yourself safe and what not but judging people based on gender, race, creed and sexuality is not acceptable in my book. judging others is not ok in all situations no matter how natural you think it is.

I had a really long discussion with my elder sister and in the end, i felt i couldn't agree more with this point of view.

Even while we make friends, we're making decisions about that person's personality. Judging doesn't necessarily mean judging bad or stereotyping also, most importantly it does NOT mean its final and we should burn the people who we think are wrong because we're still flawed humans ourselves right? You have to let them live but point is Safety first. That's why prisons exist maybe.

I think we should make our decisions keeping EVERYTHING in mind. The good as well as the bad points. Forgiving comes later.

There you go. That's why I joined the group that says I Try Not to Judge.



I mean, you'll always have impressions, first impressions which is the result of judging. It's really a matter of trying not to let bad first impressions keep you from being kind.

I never saw it this way before. Thank you for this insight; I agree with it. My religion (Catholicism) does not allow me to judge -- only G*d can judge --, but that does not mean that I am supposed to pretend that wrong-doing does not exist. If I can do something about it, it is a sin to be a mere bystander.



What I tell people who are struggling to forgive is: Forgiveness does not mean giving up your right to be angry at what was done to you. Or your right -- actually, duty -- to speak out against it. True forgiveness simply gives you the power to decide not to be a slave to your anger. That feels wonderful...



Take care --

I agree..
