Freemindsanctuary, yes we do judge, and it is part of being human, as I myself, have done so in the past.
We see the old man in a wheelchair, or the old drunkard on the street corner, reeking of drink, or the homeless man, stinking of his own urine, and yes we do judge.
What I also find, or we have is that we judge less when we understand, or take time to look at the why they are like this. Did they fall on hard times, did they loose their job?, there are a million reasons why people are like they are too.
It sometimes takes us to be " In their shoes so to speak, to know", or to take the time to not simply walk past turning our nose up, but to take the time, to speak to them too. For they have feelings, and still sense our looks of hate and disgust too.

I always donate to the Salvation Army because they help the people I would like to help, but to my shame, wouldn't touch with a disinfected bargepole.
God bless the Sally Army and forgive me for my cowardice.

Judging others I think makes us feel better about ourselves. Not that that is the right thing to do.

How much we judge others is probably a good measure of how we judge ourselves.

Judging is such as easy TRAP to fall in to.
And, I agree w/ what was said above - if you come in contact w/ someone who judging everyone else - try to be patient w/ that person b/c he's judging himself harshly , also.
