Okay so back to this judging thing. In these past days when I was slacking on writing my blog instead of going bare foot I had my knee high boots strapped on! Which brings me to my question. What in the world do you do if your judgements were right!? Then I thought judgements are sort of like opinions and sometimes it could just be intuition. How do you decipher the differences? And then I thought to myself "Well everyone has judged, has opinions, and has intuition so what if its not that we have or do all of these. What if its really about what we have done and will do with them?" I think judging gets such a bad rep because everyone is always using it so negatively! Then I thought hmmm have I ever read the definition of "Judgement"? So I looked it up and this is what it said: "the ability to judge, make a decision, or form an opinion objectively, authoritatively, and wisely, especially in matters affecting action; good sense; discretion" and then this one: "the forming of an opinion, estimate, notion, or conclusion, as from circumstances presented to the mind."
I specially like the first one. I like it because it tells us how wrongly we use our ability to judge. In all our ignorance and glory we provide our opinions about the slightest of things everyday. Hardly do we ever stop to think have I researched this, do I know the back story, and what is it that I am not seeing about this before we open our big huge mouths.
Okay okay, I sort of got off track here. I asked "what do you do when your judgements were right?" I really don't have the answer to this except I think we should act out the first definition of judgment up there. Form a opinion WISELY with good sense and discretion. I think this should help weed out all of the negative, worthless, and mean judgements people tend to make. This has helped me cope with my harsh feelings on myself for having such a peaceful nature but yet still judging others. If I just do what I set out to do and walk bare foot, whisper to myself "no shoes", not just think before I speak but REALLY think, then I believe I can use the ability to judge with respect and still walk in this journey of life with others. Others who I may not; agree with, love, know, work with, or talk to. I may not be able to stop my self from the actual act of judging but I can make myself aware that I don't know their story, I don't know all the facts and I sure as the world don't know enough about the situation to give my opinion and if I do, well then I can then remind myself to judge wisely with good sense and discretion. This is where the whole "Love with Feet" thing can come into play. If it is a situation that needs help of some sort then instead of just stating my opinion I can act on it and maybe try and help someone, brighten their day, or just be the tiny little something that would give that person the umph to keep going and be okay. OR do what is necessary in a horrible and bad situation.
So with all this being said I wanted to just say that I have been blessed with lots of folks in my life who live their life the way I am trying to get others to do by writing this blog. I have learned so much from them and I love each of them dearly! With peace and love and walking bare foot I'll see ya next time..
PS: Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE shoes?!
