When the ego is in the driver’s seat, we judge. When our spirit, our authentic self, is in control, we practice listening (without judging), compassion, and love

About This Quote

We judge others and we judge ourselves. When we judge, we create a sense of separation. We don't know what it is like to be the other person. We don't know their pain and we don't know their joy.

Judging separates us from others. It's hard to be compassionate when we are judging someone else. And, being compassionate means being present, which means not judging at all.
