Sometimes....not always. I think it may have something to do with using wisdom in deciding 'how', and 'when' you try to make other lives better, because not everyone will appreciates your effort. Many may see the opportunity to use you, then discard you, thus making your life 'worse'.
Keep in mind that whilst the Bible encourages us to 'bless' others, it also warns us not to 'cast our pearls before swine'.
Thanks Selenite. I agree that it shouldn't depend on whether or not what was said/done affects you. And maybe, that's part of the difficulty in remaining neutral/non-judgemental.
The 2 approaches could actually be used based upon the situation, I think, because if you use either ONE all of the time, there won't be any balance in your reasoning or your empathizing. Once shouldn't use "cold-blooded logic" for everything/everyone, nor allow one's "feelings" to lead them in the same way.
Very true CC. I think that that may be one of the keys to avoiding being 'judgey'. Consider the other person's situation or perspective, as a way of understanding their actions, and before making a 'judgement'.
Track, so are you saying that once what the person does "means nothing to me", then you could be non-judgy? Can't they do something that affects you, but you still not judge them?
What does "not being judgy" sound like?
Maybe so, however one can be good, but still be 'judgey'.
