Lets look at some questions to feed off of as we go forward with this topic.

Why is it that I spend time judging and criticizing others? How is this activity making my life more difficult?

Life tends to comes back around to a common theme when it comes to growth. This theme, is to love without ceasing. To express love inward and outward. Some would ask, "what is love?" I guess it is only a word until it becomes an experience, and often times the experience cannot be fully described with words. As much as I would like to, I cannot define the word for you. I don't believe it can be defined in words, lets say it can not be contained by words as well. Besides, I think it will be much more exciting for you to define love within your own heart as you grow. I promise you, if you grow on purpose, your definition of love will grow as well, because love itself as an energy is constantly expanding around you. What I will do, is offer some additional words that might help you understand how I see what love is and how it's expressed; as time goes on I hope love can find a way to expand 'within' you and not just 'around' you.

These are just a few of what I believe to be expressions of Love. I also would believe these themes to be universally accepted around the globe as positive expressions, as long as they are interpreted in the context of how I see them :)

What is Judgment? This idea of Love will ultimately be the saving grace when it comes to removing the judgments we hold against other people. When I use the word judgment, what I'm referring to is labeling or identifying someone as something other than completely perfect.

Why should complete perfection be the standard of how we see people? Because I believe that no man truly knows the condition of another mans heart or intentions and in the eyes of Love, they are perfect. They are a perfect creation on their own path to unlearn fear and return home to a place of complete love and acceptance. I believe this is the ultimate destiny of everyone and we all express that path in different ways.

This doesn't mean that there are no consequences if we or someone else acts in error. Consequences are a natural state of our existence; there are positive and negative consequences to our actions that play out in many different ways. I think to fully understand and benefit from this concept, we have to be able to see life with our heart and not just our eyes.
