The very word judgement is like a vampire .. it pulls away the very lifebreath of happiness and self. One who judges, who does not see that what they say is really judgement but truth, sees no truth in their own lives and are often the ones that judge themselves the hardest.
Life is a balance of both good and bad, without bad we can often overlook the goodness in our lives and become complacent in the negative, becoming lost in it and seeing no clear path which could lead us back to the illusion of happiness that most people build in their own mind. A better job, a better home, more money, more and better group of friends etc etc.. but those things are illusions unless we stop making judgement on others and also on ourselves. Being better in yourself does not neccessarily mean more money, better things .. that is the illusion consumerism(sp) casts upon us. It is wonderful to have our little gadgits and our fancy cars and flashy homes .. yet what do we really have if we think that is what we are meant to have and if we do not have it we are lowly and are not 'right with the world'?
Release Judgement of others and of yourselves to find the path to what you truly want and need and you might be surprised where it leads you .. again, not an easy thing... but it is attainable never forget that all things of true meaning are attainable ... as long as you stop judging yourself unworthy of attaining them.
