Judgment is another one of those human things (such as selfishness) that gets a bad rap. It’s how we carry out our judgments that matter; not the fact that we make them. Even without consciously acting a certain way, the way you think about your judgments can affect your feelings, or someone else’s, so it’s important to be aware of them.
I’m more likely to see strangers (or someone I don’t know very well) as unjustly good or bad because my judgment is based on limited observation and whatever ingrained biases I have, whereas I have a more accurate assessment of those I know better, since I know them better. I try to keep this in mind as I’m judged by others.
