Answer 2

Yes, it does help to realize that you're not perfect! That being said, it's also very difficult to be such a wonderful person that you don't at least 'think' about the faults, frailties and mistakes that we feel that others are making. We could all use a lesson from time-to-time about humility and self-righteousness. It's the same old thing with us humans -- some people go to church and they are looking at fellow church members and commenting on what they're wearing! I don't mean that to criticize the church community -- just to point out that we are too human sometimes and don't even think about how crazy our minds can be! Taking a good look in the mirror and recognizing just how flawed we are can be a good way to give others a 'free pass' on the silly stuff of life. On the other hand, you can't beat yourself up and lose your own self-esteem by looking inside yourself. Recognizing your tendency to be overly judgmental of others is a huge step--one that some people will never take! Kudos to you for submitting this question -- you've made me think about this today and I will try harder to limit my judgment of others.

Answer 3

Nope. It's like the man says, it's just more judging. You can't be judgmental with descriptive words. You can't be non judgmental or think straight with judgmental words. Watch you words, thought and spoken. It should also change your mind, rewire it. Any new ideas changes the wires, neuron connections. see trans4mind on the web. That's for transform mind. God only judges indirectly through the rules of physics, the mind and social interaction. You break the rules and there are consequences, plain and simple. You judge you, you judge them, it's all just more judgment. Judge not is the rule. Absolutely not judging is miraculous in results. To the degree you judge to that degree you will have problems, pure and simple. Paradoxically your judgment will improve, as that must be a problem for you also, as night follows day. Unbiased, objective thought is the heart of science and the way the subconscious works. You work against it and it works against you. Your working against yourself. It's like fear. The more you think about it, the less you can think straight. The less you think about it, the less you fear and the clearer you think. Science now says the same with pain. Their wording, "Pain is concentrated thought." The energy follows your thought, It's neutral. Wherever you send it, it goes. You, which is your awareness, decides. Everythings else is thoughts, not you, you have thoughts.You are aware of them and allow them or not. If you can't stop them, it's because you think you are them and go with them instead of realizing you are only watching them and can disconnect from them and direct them. That's all the new findings.

Answer 4

It will only help you if you look at your own faults, acknowledge them and recognise that others have different faults.

Two of the things many professed Christians seem to be most confused about is who does the judging (God and only God) and the true meaning of repent (which covers acknowledge, ask forgiveness and sincerely try to correct).

If you now take the time to recognise others faults in the light of your own and NOT demand that they redeem those faults in YOUR eyes, life becomes so much better.

Answer 5

You are without fault dear friend. These errors in judgment are only opportunities to ponder our actions and make corrections at the next available opportunity.

They are gifts to us from the source, not something that we are supposed to judge ourselves or others for.

Answer 6

If you acknowledge your faults and your sins, you will better be able to understand the short comings of others. There is only one man in the history of the earth who had no faults.

Answer 7

Nope.

It will just leave you all the more judgemental of other people who do not see their own faults also.


But I suppose it may be a step in the right direction.

Answer 8

Its the whole splinter/plank thing...Extract the gynormous fault out of your own life before ya go nit-picking on your fellow idiots. If you are faultless and non-idiotic/stupid then feel free to advise the rest of us. Love in Christ, ~J~

Answer 9

"Thou hyprocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye". St. Matthew 7:5

Answer 10

Not unless you can stop judging them as faults.
