I try to live by Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that you be not judged. "
I take people as they are. How they live their life is their buisness and as long as they do not interfere with other peoples "pursuit of happiness" I have no objections. So I do not judge people, they judge themselves.
By judge I was thinking he meant 'to form an opinion of'.
If a woman is a blonde then I judge her to be an idiot? I do have opinions about issues and things but I usually do not form opinions about people. They are who they are and that is how I view them. When I see a black man I do not see him as a man of color but as a a man. I do not see a handicapped person as handicapped but as a human being and treat them with the same respect and dignity as everone else. I used to judge people but over time you see the error in it and start to realize that everone is different and they live in their own little worlds.
So you never form an opinion of someone you don't know? Say in line at the store, and they were being an idiot or rude.
The thought of judging someone based on their hair or skin color or whether they were in a wheel chair or had three legs never crossed my mind.
If you judged a blond woman as an idiot based on her hair color, you'd be stereotyping. If you judged a blond woman as an idiot based on her idiotic actions, you'd be right.
Non-smilers are in a category all their own.
