Perceptive/Judgmental

[caressa]

So many times I forget that this is a disease of perception, and when I do, I find myself to be very judgemental. Not just of myself, but of others too.

I have often had to pray for inner truth and understanding and clarity of a situation, knowing that often I can see things as I would like them to be, rather than living in reality.

Many times, I have gone to read something and had blurred vision, not being able to see the words clearly on the page in front of me.

Many times, I go to speak something and my voice is crackly and I have a frog in my throat, and or start coughing.

Many times, I have started sneezing and get stuffed up when I am in denial about my own knowingness and don't want to 'smell' or seek out the truth.

This is knowingness on a metaphysical basis and has stood me in good stead over the last few years to become honest with myself.

Have a great day!

I used to be very judgemental... I was right and I knew what others needed to do to be right too.

Today I try to be perceptive...I look at both sides and realize today that often we can both be right. It's not my place to judge.

I think this is another thing that is right and wrong. I need to make good judgement for myself. I need to know what is good for me. What I don't have a right to do is pass my judgement onto others.

A certain amount of judgment is need for self-care, setting boundaries, self-worth and self-respect. As you say Lin, I need to do onto others as I would do onto myself.

I think self judgement is totally different than this chip. JThat;'s called making good judgement. Not the same thing as being judgemental.

udgemental is when I want to force my opinions on others. It's when I dont let others be who they want to be but want to insist then be like I THINK they should. It is even when a person says something against a person for the choices they make such as interacial marriage. I have freinds who afe inter-racial marriages. I dont put them down or avoid them..I dont tell them it is wrong. But I certainly know people who DO. It's not my personal choice, but I wont put down others who chose to do that. That woudl be being judgemental as well as prejudiced. That's not at all who I am.

I wasn't disagreeing with you my friend, just trying to look at things from a different perspective. I use to beat myself up for being judgmental and making judgments of any kind. It stems from a false sense of pride, insecurity, and lack of trust in myself.
