'HELLO, CENTRAL!' A QUESTION ON JUDGING
Patrick H. Bellringer
Once again I need your opinion on subject matter, where I can't quite separate the difference. I'm reading Phoenix Journals and I came to the paragraph about judgment.
In there it says that we cannot judge person, only person's actions. I can't quite see the difference.
Let's take 2 examples to analyze:
1. A person has done something criminal. He or she is being judged at the court, sentenced, which is punished for his or hers crimes. The action is judged and person is punished. Understandable.
2. A person has done something not criminal, offended another person by telling lies and it has hurt that other person and made him or her angry. How do we judge person's action, which is lies without judging the person? Wouldn't it be the same thing?
At the court, the person is punished for his or hers wrong doing but at the regular life's situation where the court is not involved, how do we judge? If I said something off to that person that offended me, would it be judging the person?
Thanks again for your opinion and answers and most importantly thank you for continuous work on your assume website.
All is well,
Best regards,
PK
