I Shall Not Judge
How different would your day be like
if you started each day
saying that just for today
I shall not judge.
What if we stopped judging ourselves and others
We all have to judge things at times, like work,
however, we can focus on being less judgmental of others.
What if we developed the skills a judge should possess,
qualities like careful listening,
deep reflection,
equanimity,
and wisdom.
What if we asked ourselves how much we really know
about a person and a situation?
Are we judging them based on what we think we know
when we really do not know all of their story?
Have we thought about times we have been judged
and how being judged feels?
I think about the times others have told me
how much better I would be
if only I did x
or stopped doing y.
Their judgmental words make me work hard
to not judge them in return
Being mindful of how their judgment makes me feel,
I work to prevent having this effect on others?
