Remaining Nonjudgmental

"When we keep choosing between right and wrong, we spend our time sorting life rather than living it. " Mark Nepo

As humans we seem wired to consider whether something or someone is right or wrong.  We spend countless hours trying to prove we are right, countries go to war to prove they are right, relationships are strained because someone does something we think is wrong.  The problem with that is we cut ourselves off from the goodness of life.  Life is about experiencing our experiences -- rather than labeling the experience.  Each person responds to and chooses to act differently in life -- Carl Jung called this an innate quality based on which combination of the 4 different personality types we are.  We might have much more to gain by trying to understand each other, rather than by deciding the other person is just wrong.
