I see one danger here and this is a trap, most people fall in, in my
oppinion:
You see people doing this and that and judge their behaviour/their
deeds. Okay. So far, so good. Now, when you see those people again,
you will remember, what they did last time and you know your judgement.
So this time you are very likely to p r e judge them before they
even have done something.
To me it seems most likely that this will occur.
So I agree that judgment is a human concept, but prejudgement I consider
to be harmful. Neither the people prejudged nor you, the judge benefit
from it, in my oppinion.
Best regards,
Stefan
