For example, fat is bad, skinny is good? What will happen when this stops?

When we stop judging, We realize that we have never really left the garden of eden.
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.
It seems that you have already figured this part out for your self.
Love and blessings.

Well, value judgment is how the ego functions - and the ego is how we get through the practicalities of life, like deciding what work to do, who to hang out with, what to wear, what to eat, what books to read, what time to go to bed at night, which questions to answer on Yahoo! Answers ... we could never completely stop it.
If we did, we would be, as Don H says, just like back in the Garden of Eden before eating the apple -- we'd be as innocent and desireless as lambs. And we'd stop suffering. And ... we'd no longer be really human.
Fortunate, isn't it, that we are also capable of deciding when is a good time to put value judging on pause. Too bad our culture doesn't place much value on that ability. Seems we're awfully attached to our suffering.

The Q is not to stop, but to judge righteously.
How about fat is good and skinny is good too!
How about I don't care how you look like, I love you!
Nah, I guess this is too much for you!0!

There will be a lot more fat people. Who will then get diabetes and die sooner, and for the last five years of their lives the rest of us will be paying to keep them alive just because they weren't smart enough to eat proper food or exercise enough.
Meh...I prefer the judging way of doing things.

How does one define "kin values"? The definition seems to alter meaning in accordance to the whims of politicians. They make it appear like a panacea for each and all the U. S.'s problems, yet a number of them are nonetheless caught interior the "stable previous days" which, by skill of how, did no longer particularly exist. those people could get off the nostalgia prepare, because of the fact it particularly is going to take you nowhere.

Don't be too concerned about this issue because value judging is here to stay. It isn't going anywhere!!!!

most things in life are individual preferences,,,,, when people stop being so controlled and guided by social norms,,,,,, then even more improvement will occur
