Don’t be quick to judge!
In others, you may find defects but you’ll never really see what’s inside (even the magic crystal ball can’t do that!).
You, too, are not perfect after all. So, suspend your judgment and try first to understand...
“And in the practice of compassion we discover, perhaps, with some surprise, that charitableness is so much more fun than harsh judgment and criticism.
In faultfinding and vindictive criticism, there is venom that corrodes and destroys the heart of the one who sits in judgment on his fellows.
In compassion, there is constructiveness, a creativity that brings a sense of achievement to the understanding soul – almost a feeling of exhilaration.
Because of our compassion, we are happier persons...”
Ref. Seventeen Steps to Heaven (Leo Trese)
