When we judge or criticize another person, it says nothing about that person; it merely says something about our own need to be critical.

That is a great thought. To bad so many people do the opposite.

The good thing about life is forgiveness. God willing we have a scecond chance to better ourselves when we make these kind of mistakes.

I guess you could even flip that around:
If you love people, you have no time to judge them....

If you judge people, you have no time to love themNo two things can occupy the same space at the same time. If you hold judgment in your thoughts, then there is no space or place for anything else.
Judgment causes separation between people rather than bringing them together.

That Mother Teresa, she was a smart woman.
Judging is a waste of time and energy, and it accomplishes nothing. I'd much rather seek to understand.

Years ago I was asked to go see a patient, Agnes, at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C. (This was about 20 years ago,) As I walked down the hall to her room, I saw a number of Missionary of Charity nuns. These sister's were all dressed in the familiar garb. The sister ran a Hospice/Home in Washington, D.C. for Aids patients. I wrongly assumed that the pt I was going to see was a terminally ill patient that the Sisters were evaluating for transfer to the Gift of Peace. When I walked into the room, I was atonished. Mother Theresa! A living Saint! I was so fortunate to have met her and the grace and dignity that she and her fellow nuns will always have a soft spot in my heart I told her about meeting Pope John Paul II in 1979/1980. With a twinkle in her eye she asked me "so what did you think?" I was so shocked that I mumbled something dumb and she laughed. Such a tiny woman, she only raised the bed sheets up about a inch. It was a humbling experience.
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them "
Isn't that the truth. No one has the right to judge anyone or to say anything wrong about a person. If a person does that they are a big "Phony" and I feel very sorry for them.

This is very true, we should not judge people, for we do not know where they are coming from, nor where they are going, someone who is rude and cranky in a grocery strore, that person might have just lost a loved one, one never knows, so lets all remember not to judge anyone, lets just love them. If you judge people, you have no time to love them

Kaysar,
A friend of mine blogged about belittling people a few weeks back. I completely agreed with him on his points. I want to give the link but I need to ask him and get his permission first.

I like that quote. I don't have the right to judge anyone anyway, I'm definitely not perfect.
