"Do not judge and you will not be judged. In the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and the measure you use for others will be used for you. Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye and not see the plank in your eye? How can you say to your brother: 'Come, let me take the speck from your eye,' as long as that plank is in your eye? Hypocrite take first the plank out of your own eye, then you will see clear enough to take the speck oout of your brother's eye." - Matthew 7:1-5.
Usually those who consider themselves good or better, or belonging to some higher groups in our society, judge and criticize those of different standing. Its a form of pride, and I must say its a sin against God and others whom they judge. So strongly is it inscribed in human nature that many among us who consider themselves more just or powerfull than others have expressed disapproval of those who are below them or weaker to them. But as Jesus told us, we must never consider ourselves supirior to others and distinguish or judge them.
You must as I do when I look at my own life, realize that those who helped us grow were those who supported us and understood us, not those who judged and condemned us.
How much do you think that I wrote was corerect? Do you follow what I said or you are the judges??
What do you feel about people judging others??
What do you think about our Holy books, be it be of any religion, can't we learn things from them, if we just keep our minds a bit open and receptive??

as far as i dont know the person exactly, i am not judging them, coz i dont want that to happen on me somehow...
And for me, one of my motto in life is that...
"Dont Judge a person because of your Ignorance!"

You are so correct. We feel a sense of belonging when we are not judged but loved for who we are, faults and all. When society puts a value on the good in us and quits concentrating on the mistakes we make, then the world be a better place to live. We feel most comfortable with those who just accept us the way we are. Great Discussion.

It is not good to judge but it is so hard when we have paedophiles and serialkillers and peoplewho have totally lost the plot. It isbetter to condemn the act than the executor of it ..but only when it comes to serious things i think justice must be implemented for the greater good. What do you think about this? Petty squabbling and putting people down i understand is not the best behaviour but justice where crimes are committed against humanity should be implemented.

Yup I must say that upto some extent you are quite right. I do feel that such people be punished but who are we to punish them. We can only report what they did and stand agaist such crimes in future, but punishing them is the work of the law authorities and also that no man isdeprived of what he deserves so they shall also get what they deserve as its never wrong to punish for crimes against humanity but I was talking abouit how people make assumptions and judgments only on the outer appearences of a man and just take others weaker from them for granted.

great discussion. appreciated. i am agree with you first we look at ourself and then criticize others. we will get the same response or treatment from others how we will treat them. we have no right to comment on others personality and behaviour. i do feel the same as yours. take care and may god bless you.
