Judgement is one of those words nobody wants to own. "Well, I’m not judging you, but …" So often, we want another person to know they are wrong, but we don’t want to acknowledge we are judging him or her.
It’s as if we instinctively know that to have the words ‘judgmental’ or ‘judging attitude’ attached to us won’t show us off in a good light either. Basically it's because people who judge presume to put themselves in the place of God.
Many people devise ways to put other people ‘in the wrong’ while seeming to be virtuous ourselves. My grade school teacher use to say, "When you point the finger at someone else, there are three more pointing back at you". That is so true.
God knows I am not perfect, and would never claim to be. I just don't know where some people get off being so judgemental by trying to call other people out. I know that in life, no one can avoid being judged. But there is definatly a difference between good judgement and bad judgement. There will be times in life where we have to judge. But instead of always judging others and pointing the fingure, we should instead judge ourselves and make sure that WE are living right and following the right path.
