Every so often I come across one of Chris Walker's blog articles that I strongly resonate with and this is one of those. Judging others alerts us to the fact that we have that part that we judge in our life and don't like it at all. Now what are we supposed to do about it? The answer is to love that part. When we can love the darkest and lightest parts of ourselves, we have learned to live in the now without judgment. Events happen and people are the way they are. It is the labels we give events and people that color that event. It might make us feel good to say something terrible about others, but ultimately we are saying that about ourselves. We are all one, we are all sparks of God that give 'God' the opportunity to experience all nuances of life, the good, the bad and the indifferent. So what we do to others, we are doing to ourselves.On my old CRT monitor I had a piece of paper taped across the top as a daily reminder that said:
Observe — accept — do not judge
