      Interesting subject. Who's is judging, who is being judged and what is being judged? I do not think they are separate from each other.

      Often times we see ourselves in others, whether we recognize us or not. It is to that degree that we judge, because we are so very addicted to the propositional boundaries of judging, we can't get away from it. We have condemned ourselves thousands of times so why not others, it makes us feel important. Makes us feel we have rights and we can fix others by our mere puny opinions of "right" and "wrong".

      Like attracts like, you would not have been in that relationship if you were not attracted to that energy. So now you see yourself in that person and you don't like it or maybe you do, depends on how you judge it/yourself.

      Well I say, give the addict everything they want until they can have no more. Death will come fast and furious to those who see themselves separate from the ALL.
      I would be true, for there are those who trust me;
      I would be pure, for there are those who care;
      I would be strong, for there is much to suffer;
      I would be brave, for there is much to dare.
      I would be friend of all—the foe—the friendless;
      I would be giving and forget the gift;
      I would be humble, for I know my weakness;
      I would look up and laugh—and love—and lift.

        that's an amazing analysis. it is human nature to want to feel useful. but on reflection, is it healthy and moral to be judgmental of others? what about this alternative, to be tolerant as well as have a critical and strong mind? seems useful, and more healthy and commendable. It would take a lot of effort to not be judgemental, but I think its worth it.
        Take him and cut him out in little stars,
        and he will make the face of heaven so fine,
        that all the world will be in love with night,
        and pay no worship to the garish sun

          Why not go beyond being human? And what makes us human, the contemplation of who we judge or reflection of what we think of ourselves (which can be the same thing)?

          Agreed that tolerance is the beginning, but are you (human) are willing to pay the price? Some say status Que is the safer.

            well I think tolerance is the most important, most human and most healthy moral. you can say its just me, though I believe there is the strongest logic and science to support that fact.

                what the point on tolerance? tolerance is a beautiful thing, the most beautiful thing... its ofcourse linked to diversity and equality which are also beautiful
