Judgement

Let's talk about judgement... and I don't mean the wrath of God kind (though it may be referenced), that's a different blog entirely. I mean the kind of judgment where we look at a person and/or have a conversation with that person and immediately after (or during) this experience we begin to make assumptions about that person. First of all I'm going to quote a very wise person (I don't know who said it first) "to assume makes an ass out of u and me". To assume something about a person is the first mistake, because, though you may be right sometimes, you just look like an ass when you're wrong. I'm not trying to sit up on my high horse here and say that I don't judge people, because I know I do and, to be quite frank, I feel like an ass when I do. As I mentioned in "Construction of Views", as human beings, there is no way for us to know the "truth". That is why we shouldn't assume that we "know" something about a person; they can never know the truth about themselves, let alone someone else. Similar to religion, we should not be discouraged by the fact that we cannot know the truth, but take joy in knowing that it exists.
