In-different Observation # 7. Judgement vs. Being Judgemental

we are often taught since childhood to differentiate between right and wrong. but people often forget to teach the fine line between sound judgement and being judgemental.
while judgement may apply to oneself in deciding what is right and wrong for us, being judgemental is a fatal, narrowing-of-the-mind process aimed at categorizing people and situations according to a one-sided approach, without really understanding the reason or cause.
the motivation behind this is often that we wish to shun or keep out certain things from our life. that's too easy to do and is a quicker process. but if we try to really understand, we will make an effort to accept, and eventually, try to change if it is possible.
we have to be very careful about not transgressing that fine line too often, i.e., in making a sound judgement for oneself and in being overtly judgemental and imposing our will upon others.
