Judgement? The word it's self seems to conjure up condemnation. As I think on it I wonder if their is a way to judge rightly? Do I have the right to judge at all good or bad? I think of times when I have someone only to realize that I didn't have all the facts. Of course when I realize this I quickly dismiss my ruling but the damage is done. How much judgement did I bring on myself by my hasty condemnation?
In order to judge rightly one would have to be aware of an inconceivably wide range of things. One would have to know the effects of his judgement on everything past, present and to come. You would have to be certain that there is no distortion in your perception and that your judgement would be wholly fair on everyone now and in the future.
We don't have the right to judge which brings me to my point that with all the information needed to judge, their would be no way we could judge at all. The fact is we don't have the ability to judge and just maybe that's why it is so destructive to ourselves. Wisdom is not judgement it is the relinquishment of judgement.
