15 December 2022 — JUDGING OURSELVES AND OTHERS

WHY do we feel the need to judge; to comment to ourselves instead of accepting others and ourselves and seeing the positive in all?

I don’t know the answer to this question, but judging one’s self and others is a way of giving our power away. To ‘judge’ is to fix attachment on a subject and colour the object thereby preventing ourselves from seeing the truth.
