About This Quote
We need to abandon our scale and adopt God's because our misguided labels keep us from the right kind of interaction with people. In this quote, Dr. Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton is encouraging his listeners to stop judging other people and start evaluating them objectively. Not only is it wrong to judge someone based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or other characteristics, but we also limit the potential for real conflict and misunderstanding by applying such labels.
