Are people always looking for chances to judge others or is that just me?

Question

Just asked a question for some advice and people, without feeling any shame, told me to change my nick name. As if that represents my entire being.

Is there any hope for humanity to stop judging others based on such insignificant details yet?

Answer 1

Judgment has been recognized as humanities biggest problem for Melina.

When the bible speaks of partaking of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you are reading what is called a metaphor. Knowledge of good and evil is a metaphoric reference to judgment. When you judge something you attempt to determine if it is acceptable or not. In effect you are deciding if it is good or evil from your point of view.

Once we were just like the animals and recognized that everything in the garden that God had given us was good. At some point we started to judge some thing as being better than others are. This set up a situation where something’s were more appealing to us than others. We started wishing for these things and were no longer happy with some of the other things in the garden.

This is what is referred to as the fall of man, or separation from God. Some references actually call this the detour into insanity. This self-induced separation from the knowledge of the perfection of god’s gifts to us was never shared by the animals. They were too smart to fall for this silly idea and were not fooled by the ideas of good and evil. For this reason they exist along side of us still experiencing the perfection of the garden. While we have excluded ourselves with our ideas of judgment. This is a truly fascinating subject that has many interesting facets. Including how to reverse the process and return to the original state. If you feel the need to discuss it further send an email.

No, it's not just you.

People in any environ are quick to find another person lesser than themselves, because it elevates their ego with no work on their part at all. The relative anonymity of the internet increases that tendancy ten-fold.

Having said that, however, the name you choose for yourself *does* say something about you. Your name made me wonder why you had chosen it as well. It does not invalidate you as a person, by any means, but as a person who is not into revenge myself, it puzzled me.

There are aways going to be those that judge others. It's merely a part of being human.

Answer 4

It does seem that many are very quick to judge.
I have always thought it was caused by imperfections in their own lives and judging the faults in others made them feel superior.
But the Bible teaches that when GOD sent Judges to Israel they set up schools of instruction, not courts of law.
