We shouldn't be judgmental of others when we really don't understand ourselves

Why most of us start judging people? Are we that intolerant of one another? Surely, when someone is critical of yourself then we realize how disgusting it actually feels to be judged or opinionated when all you like to do is to live the way you want.
Before making any conclusive decisions of others, I urge to start rectifying oneself first. You shouldn't look further to find a plethora of flaws just within yourself. We must live to correct ourselves in every way possible. Life simply isn't a random process and we are here all doing our respected deeds.
Think life as a test for which we would be duly judged, not by people or your neighbors, not by your friends, or your boss, or whoever for that matter, the only judgment that one should be actually afraid of and should be working towards is the one that would eventually be done by our Creator, our Lord, our one and only true God.
We are at no place to judge anyone.

I do agree with you medicguy!
There are so many people around us who are fond of judging other people and do not seem to see their own flaws. Well, perhaps others are doing it to hide their true colors. I have encountered a lot of people who are like this. One of my co-workers is fond of judging people around her. She is also fond of making up stories about other people especially our colleagues. I have been a victim several times and I really despise her for doing such not only to me but our other co-workers as well. Surprisingly, we do have co-workers who believe her and even take her side when she is confronted for rumors that she spreads around. She lives a dysfunctional life and I am not saying this just because I do not like her but because it is the truth.

What makes a preaching, judging and insincere person worst is when, as you mentioned, start spreading baseless humors and stories to cover his or her own insecurities and lack of contentment within. But these kind of people are present and no one can deny their very existence. You must be a very patient and strong person to deal with such an individual and that too a co-worker. Have you tried reasoning with her? But I can understand, a rational discussion with such people could prove painful, let alone welcoming.
Before judging others, judge thyself. Then, only we can truly understand human nature. Thanks for stopping by.

I agree with you. But there are many people who fall prey to the proverbial double standard. They would not like to be criticized but they would not hesitate to do it. Of course there are different kinds of people and it varies [the degree of double standard]. It is not that these people are totally intolerant and do not need relatinships.They would only like to call the shots.In my opinion these people basically tend to think too much of themselves. I make a conscious effort not to fall prey to this habit and would not like to preach without practice.
We are not here to judge others. It is a free world and people are all individuals and need not pass judgemnt on others.But unfortunately we all live in society and many have this habit of superimposing their line of thinking and judgement on to others and this becomes intolerable when it is in subjective issues.

Couldn't agree more. The fact of the matter is, people who are inclined on judging others are nonetheless themselves insecure. It is this feeling of self-deficiency and inadequacy that perhaps motivate them to keep interfere with others way of life.
Yes you are right, that they are varying degree of hypocrisy which would definitely differ from one person to the other. I mean we cannot ignore this, it is what makes us human but as I said before, to be a better human and a good person along with it, one must be able to suppress such urges. Then, not only we'll reach inner peace and self-satisfaction but also would make our surrounding a much peaceful place to live in. Just my two cents.
