3minutes table topic: "If you judge people, you have no time to love them." Mother Theresa When are you allowed to judge another person? The answer? NEVER. In other words, we do not know who is more beloved in the eyes of God. We don't know who is really the better person, the homeless person or the cancer scientist. We don't know what challenges God may have given someone growing up. We meet people in the middle of their life stories, in "Chapter 3." We have no idea what went on in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2, and we certainly don't know what lies ahead in Chapters 4, 5 and 6. Yet we are so quick to judge. A person who seems at a low point may in fact have worked very hard to overcome hardship and reach even this level. Others, although they may look righteous and accomplished, may be using only a tiny portion of their talents and skills. Jewish tradition it says we can't judge someone "unless we've arrived in his or her place." And since we can never be in exactly the same place and life circumstance as another person, we are never allowed to judge anyone. But this doesn't mean we should be so open-minded that we blindly accept anyone or anything. We can't judge a person, but we can judge actions. Even when people make mistakes, we can still see the best in them, love them, and care for them in spite of their mistakes. We do see this with our children. Who knows their flaws better than we do? Yet we choose to love them. Only God can truly judge a person, and His judgment is unique to the individual, not based on a formula. Maimonides said that a person may achieve one merit that could outweigh a lifetime of mistakes. Therefore, "Do not judge others, so that God will not judge you, for God will judge you in the same way you judge others." I hope I did fine even though I should have said the following, above (: (I remembered what you told me before you left for penang) penned by ash.
