Today I received my always inspiring GOOP Thanksgiving newsletter. It had different perspectives on judgement which I found very nice to read and also thought provoking.
Here are some quotes from the newsletter:
From Deepak Chopra:
Judge not lest you be judged.
We condemn in others what we are afraid to see in ourselves.
Blame is the projection of guilt.
Us-versus-them thinking is destructive to both sides of the equation.
From Michael Berg:
"It is easy to judge others and find fault in them; it is sometimes even enjoyable. Yet in reality, if our aim is to draw greater blessings and fulfillment into our lives, it is one of the most dangerous things we can do.
When we judge others we often think that we are simply making an observation, and that this action or thought will not affect us. However this is not the case. When we judge others we are awakening and connecting ourselves to a force of judgment. It is like trying to throw mud at someone – we might or might not hit them but we are definitely tainted by the mud. And by acting in this way we don't necessarily affect the other person, but we most definitely draw the energy of judgment and lack into ourselves...."

by Carl Gustave Jung:
"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
From Dr. Karen Binder Byrnes, Ph.D:
"Being judgmental can drain us. Having compassion and empathy restores and increases our energy and our sense of well-being. ..."
