Why do we feel and act justified in judging others behavior instead of looking at our own?

Question

Peace and Love

Answer 1

Most people I know do this regularly. I think that people inadvertently do this simply to be noticed or gain attention. If they have the goods on someone else then certainly others will listen thus giving much attention to that person. I think that we have become a society where people think only of themselves and use whatever means possible to gain recognition.

Answer 2

I dont judge other's althought I may make a remark about what they may be doing and give an opinion on what they are doing, that doesnt mesn that I am just them..we all have to live our own lives and we all have to answer for what we do..

Answer 3

We should only judge people for ourselves - in other words, don't judge them on how it will affect their lives, but how they will affect ones own. You have to use judgment in order to know who you want to be in your life, and who not.

Answer 4

Because we don't want to concentrate on our own shortcomings. But Christians, at least, have absolutely no business judging anyone else.

Answer 5

Because for most humans, ignorance is bliss...we look at other's shortcomings to feel better about our own.

Answer 6

very true.
i guess weak people need an outlet - a crutch to lean on to make themselves look better than eveyone else.

Answer 7

those who have done the most harm, are the first to judge other, so they can feel better about themselves.

Answer 8

Maybe coz it"s easy to be an anonymous idiot in here?

Answer 9
