Who am I to judge?

     Judge yourself, your own behavior, opinions, and beliefs.  Try to form your own basis for judgment instead of automatically adopting the standards of your religion, your parents, or any previous "expert."  Have confidence in your own common sense and logic instead of echoing the rhetoric of previously set ideas.  Remain curious, question everything, consider your sources of information, and look at the total picture.
     When you have a sound basis for judgment, focus evaluating and improving yourself and your side of relationships.  Try to see others without clouding the picture by judging them.  You will broaden your perspective and better understand human behavior.  Open up your heart and let the sunshine in.
     Recently, the Pope asked the question, "Who am I to judge?"  Supposedly an expert on God's will, he should have a pretty good basis to judge.  Catholics, non-Catholics, and non-believers can see the wisdom behind his question.  We need to open our hearts and minds to accept others as they are instead of judging them on the basis of our own standards.
