The permanent need to judge everything, and especially the people around us, is one of the main obstacles to our spiritual evolution.

We hardly meet someone that we already judge him or her. We even judge people before meeting them. And once we have put a label on someone, we can no longer know the person because of the image we have of him or her and that comes from our social and cultural patterns as well as our personal experience.

Then we only see the character we have imagined and decided to see.

Prejudice is an impediment for conscience awakening. To be biased implies to be unable to discern and it creates a prism which distorts the real nature of people as well as their personality.

There's only one way to heal from this habit, it is to stop definitely considering that you have the right to judge the others.

But if you can't help it, for mind is very rebellious and defiant, there's another and even more efficient solution.

Become your own judge! But be at least as violent and uncompromising as you are with the others.

If you can do that, then it's sure, it won't be long before you reach enlightenment!
