Where do judgments come from?

I think that we tend to judge people based on our experiences. We never put ourselves in other people's shoes. We tend to forget that every experience is different even if it appears similar. This is why I considered myself a moderate ,and I try my best to pay attention before jumping to conclusions.

Hi, Pose you are right. If we have to judge people we should do it properly as you pointed out. We often misjudge people and that is not good.

Judgment comes from one's perception on and analysis of the available facts and figures related to a specific issue. It depends on one's own value system and intellectual maturity of understanding the the whole issue and all other factors linked to it. Even,two persons of same age,education and community may significantly vary in judging a particular issue and give entirely different opinions. I agree with your views, but It is difficult to change.

Oh I agree, unless you know someone personally, then you have no idea why some thing is the way it is. Their look, dress, actions.Judging a person is based on what we either believe or been taught. I would say most are not big enough of a person to admit tht it is something we see in ourselves, as we look at our selves in a different way, or we know the story behind what is going on in our lives, so it can't be us in our thinking.

Hi, judgments come from human nature that we like to store everything in small boxes. So if we see someone we just put them in the "oh he's so nice" box or the "he's rude" box and so on. But some people judge harder and faster than others. I agree it would be nice if we could change that but i don't think we can we can just admit we judge too fast or try to hide it. Have a great day

Thats is a really good point my friend. Its make thing twice before saying any thing to someone I don't really know about their life or what they has face in their life. I believe being rich not always make them happy and being unemployed doesn't mean lazy. Like in my brother case its really hard to him to find a job but he keep looking, he help in our store but not as employer but owner assistant but he want to make his own way, that is why he is keep looking.

pose123 here in the US a lot of people use stereotypical thinking and judge a fat person alway as a slob who overeats, yet they do not know one thing about this person. Also a young person who is leaning against something, oh thats one of those spoiled teen brats, again this person knows nothing of this person, or a senior citizen waiting for a bus,. oh shes probably senile, now again this person knows not one thing about the elderly lady. old equates to senile in so many minds.The truth could be the overweight person is fighting the extra weight taking insulin often does to a diabetic. the young person leaning on the wall has just come off of eight hours working as a nurses aide. the senior citizen has an IQ of 160 and is a retired attorney. so I say judge not lest you be judged.

From life experiences. If you tend to meet alot of certain kinds of people that act a similar way, then you start thinking everyone of that group of people are the same. I don't think its something we see in ourselves currently, or else you wouldn't notice it, but it can be something that we use to be. I do agree we all need to stop judging. But only in the way we use our judgments to treat people, or speak of people, because I think these judgments based on experiences are also a defense mechanism.

For me it from the evil one because as you know Jehovah God don't judge as in the bad thing.

Hi Pose: I agree that people usually make these judgements over people and that's not ok because we don't have the power to judge a person. In some of the cases people do their best to get a job but they can't or they're in a hard situations even if they have done their best to fix it up. I think that we should better help instead of just condemning a person. Thanks for asking us this question. Have a nice day. ALVARO.

I know really know where it came from.. all i know is nobody here on earth have a right to judge...only God have.

Hi, Pose123! I agree with you. I don't want to be judged so simply so I shouldn't judge others simply. We say "No investigation, no judgement!" It's a basic respect for others.

i do agree with you but people tend to judge because of their perceptions and its usual to people to say something even if its bad or not because even if you're not doing anything still people have something to say right?
