To say that a person is non judgemental is meaningless. Non judgemental is a buzz word used by people who have a desire to elevate and set themselves apart from others.
A very simple example :-
Why do people look both ways before crossing a busy road? Are they not judging if it is safe to do so?
We do it subconsciously ALL the time. when the elevator doors open we are checking to see if it is in deed an elevator that we are entering and not just the lift well.
How long do you think a person would last without their judgement?
Interesting.
Regarding your post...If you are assuming that I think I am non judgmental- you are mistaken.
And as far as the simple example you give to illustrate your opinion regarding being judgmental- there is an enormous difference between making an assessment of whether a road is safe to cross- having good eyesight, I would just look both ways and see the traffic, and wait for the road to be clear to cross. Its a simple, straight forward act that people with good eyesight make every time they cross the road.
I wrote, and I quote: 'I dont put myself up high and judge people who take drugs'
From personal experience, I know that taking drugs and being an addict is a complex act- which can include many different elements- such as background, personality, environment and many others- perhaps each addict may appear to be similar but to imagine that it is as simple as poor judgment that has lead to them taking drugs, just shows a lack of imagination.
People are flawed, all of us- it is only a matter of degree.
And if you think you are perfect- good for you- thats great.
