I recently posted a topic about modesty...I don't think I was clear enough when I said not to criticize other's beliefs on BOTH SIDES of the matter. so this made me curious. there's no escaping the fact that as human beings we are programed to judge but what's a fair way to go about it? you can preach all you want about how its wrong to judge but we all do it. I just want to know what you consider a fair judgment?

I agree Amy. sometimes we can't really help what thoughts pop into our heads but just because we have them doesn't mean people should hear them :)

If I think a not so nice thought about someone I keep it to myself unless they ask for my opinion...in that case I find the best way to say what I think and try to encourage them in the process. It's all about encouraging others to be the best they can be.

Well put Rebekah. honesty and being tactful is the most respectful way to voice your opinion :)

We do all judge. the key is to not judge too swiftly. get all the facts first. and even then there's still room to renew your mind.

I'm with Rebekah. 99% of the time, I keep my mouth shut. Also, there's difference between being hurtfully honest and being constructive. If it is a random stranger in public and I don't agree with some aspect of their behaviour, I won't just march up and say it. But if one of my friends asks me if an outfit is hoochie or if they would look good with a pierced nose or whatever, I will tell them politely yes or no and give suggestions.

I have been so guilty of thinking awful things about ppl mostly because I was either in a bad mood or jealous but a major lesson I have learned on my life is not to judge too quickly ppl I thought I hated ended up being some of the best friends I ever had and a guy I thought wasn't my type ended up being the love of my life and were getting married this fall so my advice would be get to know ppl before you judge them I would have missed out on so much if I had not learned that lesson.
