Judging

Imagine if I took all the energy I spend judging other people, deciding how they should use their resources, time and creativity, how much I could accomplish? Not just this week when writing, but all the time.

Jesus said judge not lest you be judged, so I am also inviting a lot of judgment onto myself.

I don't think of people as evil, mostly simply misguided. If only they would make the wise choices I make. If I bothered to turn this lens of correction on myself, I would quickly draw back in horror.

Part of me thinks it unwise to post such a confession. The part of me that insists I do so hopes for the redirection that can emanate from transparency about one's shortcomings. What an understated word for sin.
