Why Not Judging People Is A Beautiful Thing

Not JudgingOn a day when I am happy that our blogging network Active Rain has improved with an enhanced editor it reminded me

Why Not Judging People Is A Beautiful Thing.

You know why? As Mother Teresa said, "if you judge you have no time to love."

In other words telling people they need to change immediately gets you off on the wrong foot and invalidates the very being of who they are. We assist in the growing up of children with direction but with adults we need to LOVE and not JUDGE and remember ultimately adults CHANGE THEMSELVES. We can influence them by example but must realize truly THEIR change is out of our control. Even with rants and complaints here about OTHER members or SYSTEMS, all out of our control. So I never was derogatory here about the BASIC EDITOR.

And see what happens over TIME.......

Not Judging Is A Beautiful Thing !!!

If we gorego the first impression judgement and give the person a chance to talk we may be surprised.

So true!  I find if you truly listen and accept the way people are, you'll get a lot further when it is your turn.

I have many friends who hate to conform to the word normal. I don't judge them, I celebrate their unique approach to life...

This is so true, Gary. It's so nice to hear that someone else has the same attitude about judging.

Gary, I don't ever judge. There is a higher power that knows more than I. But, new toys are always good.

Great reminder, Gary.  Many of us are too quick to judge.  I always appreciate your thoughtful blogs.

I never judged the old ActiveRain. I only gave her the freedom to grow into who she is today. I'm very proud.
