Judgment (Tangent)
The irony of judgment is that any accusatory subjection is often vicarious, to just about anyone. Guilt is present, whether you're offending, or being defensive. We all share observation in attention span. To some level or degree, it will elicit guilt, even in the accuser!
The accuser is disassociating something that they've been guilty in, and attempting to relieve their own insecurity, as to assume they would never do what they're accusing of, or that they never have been guilty of the same thing. They may not be aware of it, or they may just flat out presume innocence, so that they can have a strong opinion, and become indignant and seek justification, without ever admitting error. That is just blatant dishonesty, and not acceptable as any proper judgment at all!
It may not be as extreme as murder, but any accuser has also held hate and contempt in their heart. The accuser is just as guilty! Underneath the surface, for someone hard-hearted, callous, and numb enough to accuse, there's a teetering of extremity of balance. They use an extreme example, while they may be guilty in a more subtle example. This is hashed off on the surface, to disassociate the truth, which is that they too have been guilty, in turn. This can lead to error in observation, and replace it with bias and partiality, as well as misconstrued context.
They just don't look deep enough to see their own fault. That is hypocrisy! Even in feeling vindicated or justified by watching a murderer be put to death, remember, you too have held a grudge! It's just not as extreme, but it's there! How does one "prove" innocence, when they're guilty of the same thing? It's hypocrisy. That's really common sense, when you think about it.
We all fail, and we all need to continually strive to change. The naysayer that refuses to change, and holds onto the grudge, only ruins their own potential. It's all about recognizing a need to sacrifice for the sake of real and true innocence and change. The need for repentance, and the forgiveness of sin?

I like how you explained the irony in judgement. As much as I'd like to say I try not to judge, it almost seems engrained in society today to pass judgement, while so many times the judger is a hypocrite.
I do strive to not judge people, as I do not know the path they are walking, running or fleeing.
It was a very interesting read.
Are you sure you are not an ancient philosopher? 😊

I just have some honest insight from resources that really lay the groundwork for me to think like that. Part of my belief system is to accept that you're wrong, so that you can embrace changing and working on yourself perpetually. It's kind of difficult to explain. In a nutshell, you could say that everyone sins, and needs forgiveness, and that could be a rudimentary or foundational or base principle that allows me to conceptualize such thinking or allows me to see that. It's easy to see what's wrong in the world, but more humbling to see what's wrong in yourself. That is difficult. Once you can get past the admission, it can give you humble and honest perspective to be thankful for, especially once you see the changes taking place.

I'm all about changing what's wrong with myself. It's something I work on everyday. It's something the majority doesn't seem to care about.

I think you made some strong points in this work. What I like about this is that it speaks to both accuser and accused equally.

Yeah, there's a vicarious balance in such, that goes unheeded, in the person of 1st person point of view. I guess I was really attempting to show that it applies to them, as well as the hypocrite in subjection, which is them, as well, since we all share vicarious disposition in conscience.
