If you believe something, it's impossible not to make a judgement.
However, Judgement and Judging are two different things. Judgement can be either positive or negative but Judging is only negative. When we make Good Judgements we are our higher self, we take the high road and are doing what's right. Making Good Judgements include being patient, kind, loving, etc. Judging includes thinking you're better than someone or you're more superior, etc.
It's okay to have an opinion about something but it's not okay to think negatively about someone. If you say "I don't believe in homosexuality" that's okay because you have a right to your oppinion but some might say "you're a homophobe" which isn't necessarily true. Just because you said you don't like homosexuality doesn't mean you don't like homosexual people. You said you didn't like the thing you didn't say you didn't like the person. Maybe youre are loving and accepting which are great qualities to have. Don't fall into the trap or be intimidated into thinking you're judging when you're not.
In this day and age people are afraid to say what they believe because someone will say "you're this or you're that". But what they say may not be true. Maybe you do judge people, but I believe we can always be our higher selves and learn to love people. Don't be afraid of what people say. Know where you stand and be willing to defend it. Most people don't know why they have the beliefs they do which can make them judgemental. It's okay to ask "do I believe that?" because when you know what you believe you can defend it. You're not questioning whether or not it's true, you're questioning whether or not you believe it. Sometimes the answer is Yes!
When someone says "you're this or that" they're judging. Maybe they should pull the beam out of their eye instead of trying to pull the mote out of yours. Maybe they should focus on their own faults and leave yours alone.
I'm not always my higher self and when I judge people I'm usually wrong. I'm trying to be loving and kind and that's all we can do is 'try' because we aren't perfect and can't 'be' all the time. People just want to be loved and accepted no matter what they do. We have a choice, either we can make good judgments and inspire people to be their higher selves, or we can judge which doesn't inspire anyone. Judging drags you down, it makes you untrusting and critical. Having Good Judgement is freeing. It allows you to be 'good' and you are good!
