JUDGMENT
There is no more ridiculous limitation than that of the person who places him or herself on an imaginary throne of Superiority, in order to judge the rest of us.
The reason this superior choice is so limited a view is because when one self-appoints—elects himself to a high position—he does so because no one else will elevate him to the throne he feels he has earned.
Most likely, he is a person with a whole lot of Talk, but very little Action. He sees the weakness in others as contagious poisons he needs to avoid. In order to keep himself on his Imaginary Throne, higher than all those surrounding him, he looks for their flaws—a subjective concept in many ways—and thrives upon exposing them.
If the one being judged is fortunate enough to have very few flaws, the Judger will create flaws by reducing the strengths—of the one being judged—into something ridiculous.
For instance, if a person is in excellent shape, with awesome motivation, but is older, the Judger might say something like, “Aren’t you too old to be working out so much?” (Never mind that the older one looks great.)
The superior one climbed onto his throne and looked down at us all with a scrutinizing eye. This way he distracted himself, so he would not have to look at his own follies. For make no mistake, the Judger is very disappointed with his own life. He is hard on himself and focused on his own weaknesses. He judges his habits and self-effacing ways, and for not living up to the expectations of others. He self-judges for not living up to his own expectations.
For the dissatisfaction he feels toward his own world, he judges himself. He compares himself to those who have done what he wishes he could do, compares himself to those he thinks are successful, and becomes jealous.
People who judge others are jealous people, and unhappy. They judge themselves twice as hard as they judge everyone else.
The truth is never judge others, for there will always be something they can do that you can’t.
