Here Come The Judge or A Fine Balance

One of the biggest challenges for myself and the rest of America is to move beyond our judgement. Judgement may be necessary in controlling the masses or maybe fear of judgement in our own little worlds is what keeps us moving.....mooooo.....somewhat like a herd of cows.

It is hard to not stay in the phase of judgement...heck there are pageants and reality shows of judges handing down verdicts. One of the most popular shows and numerous spin offs is "Law and Order."

So, how do we as individuals and a nation maintain our own course while not getting satisfaction in judging others course. Will acceptance of all, create anarchy or peace. I think it is a fine balance of accepting that which does not hurt others, but allows one individual peace.

Case in Point...The Minutemen, a marginal group of individuals who have judged themselves to be in charge of our southern border. Their belief is that they have the right to judge and protect the country from those trying to enter illegally. Instead of contributing to a solution, they are taking their anger out on an even more marginalized group.

Judgement does not need to be negative, it can be a mirror of ourselves and help us look at how we can change.

Today's food for thought since the holiday cookies are almost gone!
