BEST of PONDER on THIS for Thursday, May 14th, 2009 by Jeff Maziarek in SPIRITUALITY SIMPLIFIED

“Judgment of others plays a significant role in furthering separation. While none of us wants to be considered judgmental, the fact is that all human beings have the tendency to judge. Once you honestly admit to having this inclination, you can then begin to become more conscious about it when you are doing so.

The critical thing to understand about judgment is that when you judge you do not really see people as they are, you see them as you are. Your judgments only say something about you. Another key point about judgment to remember is that what strongly annoys you about another is in reality an unaccepted aspect of yourself. Once you embrace this concept, you can start to look beyond the surface of your judgments in an attempt to identify what it is that this person you are judging is showing you about yourself.”
