Judgment is Never Necessary

Mother Teresa once said, “If you judge people, you don’t have time to love them.” If we are quick to pass judgment on others, we forget that they, like us, are human beings. As we seldom know what roads people have traveled before a shared encounter or why they have come into our lives, we should always give those we meet the gift of an open heart. Doing so allows us to replace fear-based criticism with appreciation because we can then focus wholeheartedly on the spark of good that burns in all human souls.

 

Mother Teresa was a noble person from Macedonia - that certainly had some impact on the world in more ways than one...

 

Now perhaps that sounds like “Mr. Happy” within my writes here on the internet but I have had some health issues that have went further than what I intended them to. I on this particular matter in a small amount of time.  I was offline there was a due reason for it and with all due respect I certainly don’t feel that it’s fitting for someone to play the old gossip game but then again within it all I do as I wish by choice.

 

I think we all do judge people to some extent however I find that the less to be judged is the more to be enjoyed. I thank you for the meaning within all this but within the balance I certainly will never tell a person what they should do as to each there own.

 

This is leading me to something but here again I value my privacy. But I shall come back to it, as it’s not something to do with neither stress nor my family just some recent situations with regards to my own health. I recall so well a great doctor that said that 90% of everything is within the mind. He was a tremendous oncologist that I have known for years as a great family friend.

 

Today for me was having a few things tested and I will come back to this but in the mean while I do what I choose and I think that we all have our prerogatives in what we write.

So within this time I choose what I write and I am not angry with some of the remarks that I have received. So I do write within an authentic manner, I do keep it within networks and that basically is that.

 

 

I think each person goes through something and I do believe that there is that right to do as you choose. The manner that I have always seen it is there are some that will always posture and that is just a fact of the human element. As far as the good Samaritans within blogging – it’s hard to say if they do exist.

 

Yet I will go on and keep doings as I certainly wish. I am not that type of person that gets angry or moody with things yet I need not explain myself. As no one does.

  1. This post leads one to wonder. Are you angry that you are not feeling well? I know I get that way when my malady is in full swing. I truly hope your tests come out well and that your back to feeling well soon.

  2. Jim I am calm with it all and I literally am with it each and every day - and I will come back to this but needless to say I am fine - you will find that once that you come to know things your fine with it. I am just writing pertaining to one write I received which perturbs me.

  3. Amen!! Amen! - My thought - to be aware of anger or aware judging another is beautiful thing to see - much better to be aware then to be unaware of what we do! Once aware we can work on our fears and be compassionate of ourselves too.

  4. Exactly, Keith I will say within my friends at a certain point but I came into this ethical thought of recent and thought I would write it and this is not so much about fear or denial of fear - it's on something that just came up but at the same time we so often write on the "I" factor if you know what I mean.
    And what a person does and whom they are is there own creation in their own way. Awareness of things Keith does take away fear - you know what I am talking about. Without a doubt I think that is where you and I have a bond of sorts as friends on here even though it's now and then - yet it's quality.

  5. I personally don't judge others, although I judge myself regularly. I am confused as to what you are trying to imply in this blog. Have you been mistreated?

  6. Take the beam out of your own eye before trying to remove a splinter from mine. That is a new testament saying attributed to Jesus. I ponder it often. Humans are too quick to judge others.

  7. Karyn yes I don't think that may do read within this and you know what I mean. I guess my write did not come out that well. Hmmm.

  8. Danni, I feel that one does have the right to write when ever they wish and recently I did have a pm from a person that when I arrived home it was indicating what I should be doing but however within all that - I felt that it was not necessary. Especially right now. And it's something that I just cast it aside but it lead my into a thought of what we are and how we regards others. I hope that explains it.

    And I think that Mother Teresa said it best. It's really about judement without the realization of what his happening on the other side yet I am fine as I was going to come out a write this tonight as I have not been on here for good medical reasons.

  9. We all have to make some judgments in our lives, but I think "Be slow to anger and quick to forgive" covers it pretty well.

  10. I always say don't judge others until you have walked in their shoes for 100 miles-

  11. We have to judge sometimes.
    Cal said that right.
    We have to care enough about things and taking steps to help others, living. The world is not perfect. We have to judge badness. Do you think that would make today's world a better place? Undoubtedly To not would mean unrighteousness will grow. That's not only biblical but history.
    Throughout history, there have been cases of crimes against humanity in which the rights of people were totally ignored. And suppose good people who wanted to say nothing or claim some Sainthood by that - they are not the judge. These include the slave trade out of Africa, Nazi death camps, forced child labor, and brutal genocides in one place or another. The horrifying list could be much longer. What if no-one said this is wrong? That they were not to judge?

    Little crimes too-adulterers hurt their mates, spousal abuse-child abuse--even net abuse is wrong.
    Today, our high-tech world is self-centered. Few people think about others when their own convenience or supposed rights are at stake. Or they want to look and sound good. They don't want to hear they are bad or acting badly. Or a friend has. Why have so many become selfish, cruel, unfeeling, and self-centered? Is it not because the Golden Rule, though still widely known, is being brushed aside as unrealistic, a moral relic? Is it not also because suppose good people don't want to get involved? Sadly, this is the case even among many who claim to believe in God. And judging by the way things are going, people will only become more self-centered.

    By the way Mother Theresa let out a few hollers too. It's in her Bio. She called people out for being selfish, greedy and many other things. Do I think less of her for it--NO. She was doing what was right. They needed to be told
    Even the Dahlia Lama has lost his temper with some who refuse to follow good standards.
    Is it wrong to judge? I don't feel so--to me God himself set up judges here because they were so needed. (that's in the book too) He will do the final judging to their future but he left us the protection to judge here on earth. So often I just hear one Scripture that people like to use as if that says it all--they don't like to see that the book was made as a whole--for reproving and teaching. If they want to use one Scripture and believe that as truth--than the others should harmonize to make it the whole truth. Judging was allowed in righteousness. Only the other kind was wrong.

    I don't have to walk in a molesters shoes to know it is wrong. He might have had all the abuse too but that doesn't make wrong -right.

    You are right it is balance. It is the extreme that is wrong.

  12. Again a write that just says so much. Mankind is not perfect but as you say in so many areas here it's a self involved situation but yet there are some that do write on some tremendous things. Had you have always brought the raised the bar a little higher each time that you have made a post.
    It certainly speaks for itself and I am glad to have the friends that I do on this blog.

    Balance yeah and the respect of one and all that write within there own manner.

  13. I am reading these blogs you have written over the last couple of days, like you said you normally stick to Art and stuff, which I really like, and these last few blogs have been different. They look at the way people interact with each other..I've also seen the last line you wrote here.........
    '' I am not that type of person that gets angry or moody with things yet I need not explain myself''.
    Maybe I'm way off the mark here but I think maybe there is a reason for you to suddenly start thinking and writing about good/bad/ morality/ ethics.....etc.............and I hear what you say, you certainly do not need to explain yourself, but what ever your reasons are I just want to say I am hoping you are not too troubled by any thing. And if any one has judged you here, well I know how that feels, I've had a dose of that recently so I have every empathy with you. Don't let it get you down too much, usually those who are the quickest to judge others are doing so because they are too scared to open their eyes and take a good look at them selves, judging others is a defence mechanism against seeing faults in yourself.

  15. Hi Shedi, I never thought you would come on here but you did and I thank you as I knew you for years and from Canada to Iran it's a pleasure.
    Your ethics and values are what we so often aspired with. And love is all.

    Thank you my dear friend,

    Jack

  16. Yes I arrived home yesterday after a CTScan that was done early within the morning and there was someone that told me what I "should" be doing. Mind you at the time I had been up since 5am as my scan was at 6:30 there after I had several things to do one of with was to format and fixe this computer and I had a personal message indicating in a manner that "there is more than just the computer". I do not believe in the word should and she knows whom she is its one person and that person that I never have seen the face of as she goes by the color purple will always ask questions and I think highly of here but when this came I thought there after I would write on judmental people.

    And here today I am free of all my own medical things as I have had a few days of testings - and I am happy with what I know but that person made a judgement without knowing all. So I thought I would write on this particular subject. As I don't know that many on a one to one basis on here as I have always kept it within balance.

    I see no faults with myself as I have done no one wrong. Within my life I have attended to family after moving here last December and as recent I have found that I have something medically and now I know why I have been having such a hard time with my legs.
    I think that answers it. And it's not stress....

  17. Online I think we write and if we are not pleased Eliz with certain things we always have that ability to click and delete.
    It's as easy as that. :)

    We judge many things but it's one thing to judge without knowing all that much and making a mistake on our judgments. Sipping a coffee here and here too it comes down to what Had said on one of these rights.
