‘I think one of the most serious issues with modern society is the stigma attached to being “judgmental”’
Agree completely. I have a younger brother and an older brother. My younger brother frequently shows no common sense. I was talking with my older brother about this and he said ‘well, we can’t judge him’. My response was ‘ why not? maybe if we did, he wouldn’t do such stupid things’. Taking away our ‘discrimination and judgment’ on others for their stupid actions, hasn’t been a good thing for our country or the world. But PC dictates no judgment, so we are in this handbasket, and going down at an alarming rate.
For some people "judging" means condemning and shunning or punishing.
For some people "not judging" means turning away and pretending not to notice.
For others, it means encouraging and praising no matter what.
There are other responses in between these that might have more of a positive effect.
Absolutely. How did we get here?
