@timmayberry Let's look at our options.
Should we? If we do,
We get debate. A place where we try to prove the fault and heresy with the point that you oppose. With debate, there is a two-way street. With you hating people, there comes people hating you. But the views you have, you stand by for at least sometime.
If we don't, we get non-prejudice. Ultimate peace that would be Utopia for Earth. But can this be faulty? Yes. Who is to say that this theory is airtight? We are all individual. No one is telling us how to think. Either situation makes us learn a lesson, which if you put them in the correct situation, we have to learn a lesson one way or another, and that is inevitable.
Which one is worth it? Neither. But that's not the Universe's problem (that's what the prophets and such keep saying) Now we're stuck with two choices again, but it's really a Hobson's choice. We either make the choice in the beginning by having to cower, or proving it's inevitable to do.
So
Should we? Or shouldn't we?
Should we? Or shouldn't we?
Let's find out.

Ideally, no. But in practical terms, we do it all the time. I wonder, how much does human nature play into judgment? How much control do we have over being non-judgmental? Is this a matter of self-awareness or something rooted deep into our psyches and unavoidable? Why is it so difficult for us to be truly non-judgmental? I mean, really, how many non-judgmental people do you know?

Yes. But if you can't accept judgement in turn, then... well, you'd best keep it quiet.

I don't really think it's ever our place to judge - unless we're working as judges :P "O SON OF DUST! Verily I say unto thee: Of all men the most negligent is he that disputeth idly and seeketh to advance himself over his brother. Say, O brethren! Let deeds, not words, be your adorning." - Bahá'í writings

No. We should judge them based on our own ways, theories, morals and thoughts. Oh wait. I guess we already do that. Never mind, then.

The older I get, the less I am concerned about judging others (although politics will stir me up sometimes) Fact is, I've done enough stupid things in my life for stupid reasons. What a person does or doesn't do is part of their own journey, they may not always do or think the same forever. I surely am different person at 40 than I was at 20, and I'll probably be different at 60 than I am now. I constantly am redefining my thoughts and morals as I learn about myself and from my own actions. Why should I think anybody else is not.

In some regards, yes. I am not a fan of, "Respect me, it's just my culture." No. I will not respect female genital mutilation because it's your culture. I will not accept the torturing of bulls for sport because it's your culture. And so on, and so forth. If the actions of one person, deliberately hinder another's potential, character or ability to live a life he/she/it chooses, I cannot accept it and I will judge you for it.

If not judging someone by their ways, theories, or morals, we leave not much else to determine who they really are. Unless, as some people choose, you could judge people by their appearance to determine if they are smart or mean or wonderful people. (which in my opinion is downright wrong)

perhaps it would be kinder if we said choose or select, but it's judging and it goes both ways, imo.
