[John] For instance, if you said to me, "John, you seem like a really good guy." Why then do I never reply, "Judge not"? For it is equally judgeing if we deem somebody good as well as bad. But the only time the "judgement" objection is raised, is when the judgement is negative.
[Arlo] Good point. I wonder if the sentiment is more akin to "let he who is without sin cast the first stone", namely that it is concerned with negative attacks on others more than with praise. I've also found it applied pretty hypocritically as well, most people are only really concerned with "judging" when they are the ones judged. Most have no problem at all judging others (to be inferior to themselves). [John] and Quality, the focus of judgement, goes out the window as well. [Arlo] True. Read in its most elementary meaning, "judging" is simply a determination of value; often silent. When I choose vanilla over broccoli ice cream, I am making a "judgment". [John] If I'm ok and you're ok and everybody is ok, then nothing is ok. [Arlo] OK. Fair enough. You're not okay. Happy?
