Judgment

"It is impossible to wish something for someone else without at the same time willing it for ourselves.  If we all were to follow this rule we should become kinder."  Ernest Holmes

Reason enough to want the best for everyone!!!   There is evidence that this statement is true -- that what we wish for others, is what we experience ourselves.  Are we glad for someone who has good fortune, or are we jealous?  Do we begrudge someone else's good fortune?  It is in our own best interest to not do so.  We can never know what is going on in anyone else's life.  Therefore, let us assume she or he is doing the best they can.  Thinking the best of others blesses them and us.
