Question

Are you aware of how your judgments prevent you from connecting to whatever you are judging?

Answer 1

I really try not to judge. But somethings are done that make me want to be sure I don't connect. Everyone judges. If a person goes on a killing spree we judge it & most would not want to connect with the person doing those acts. It's a nice ideal, but hard to practice.

Answer 2

Sometimes yes and sometimes no.

It depends on how passionate I am about to the topic.

Answer 3

Why would I become connected to something/person that I`m judging?

Answer 4

Yes, I am.

I hate it when I judge people. I try so hard not to, but sometimes I do anyway, and I feel terrible about it, every time I do it.

Answer 5

I would say yes.

Answer 6

Aha, a yes/no question. No.

Answer 7

I think that when you entertain something by judging it you are connecting to it in the only way you can connect to it, by grabbing hold of it and examining it and trying to solve it.

We pass judgment on things when we think we have them figured out....that's my judgment on the whole thing.

Answer 8

Yes indeed

Answer 9

you may be right in a way. but how do u judge something in the first place without connecting to it in some way?

depends on what "connecting" means in your vague question

Answer 10

Sure.

Part of judging is judging who you don't want to connect with.

Answer 11

When I am not a liar I am not very upset by the lies of others, when I am not a thief, the thieving of others is not my concern. When I judge others I am usually pointing at my own faults. So I have no trouble "connecting" to what I am judging. I am judging myself.

Answer 12

I try not to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes I dont catch myself in time.  So yes, my judgments do prevent me from connecting to what I am judging.  But what if the thing you are judging is something you dont want to connect with?
