The more I think about this injunction that we must not judge others, the sillier it seems. We judge people all the time. Moreover, why is the judgment of others always thought of in a negative sense? They are also favorable judgments. They are many different kinds of judgment.
There are moral judgments: "This man beat his wife. This is a bad man." "This man helped me a lot. This is a good man."
There are aesthetic judgments: "This woman is beautiful." "God,he looks terrible after his illness."
There are practical judgments: employers judge employees; teachers judge students.
There are judgments about behavior that have to do with social mores: "This man is rude. I don't like this man." "This woman is very polite. I like her."
The injunction not to judge others is a simple-minded notion. This is not the way life works.
