"DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use for judging is the standard by which you will be judged."
Do you judge others harshly? Do you treat others the way you would like to be treated by them? What is the standard you use to judge others and yourself? The method of judgement that we apply should be clear and reasonable. It should be applied equally to ourselves and others. The question that arises is why we expect so much more from everyone else than we do of ourselves. Does it make a difference to you when you know that the standard that you use against others will be applied to you equally? What does "Judge not least you be judged" mean to you?
Many times people criticize or condemn others for their looks, or nationality or race. They are judging without any specific knowledge of that person. They are using bias and prejudice and may be totally wrong about that person. Many tend to prejudge entire categories of people and expose their ignorance, unreasonableness and lack of reason. Lets reverse the process. How should others judge you. Should they use the same type of reasoning and bias? It is not reasonable to lump together an entire category or group of people when they are not identical. All black people or all white people are not the same. All democrats and all republicans are not the same. All French and all Americans are not the same. All Muslims and all Christians are not the same. Be careful how you judge them, for you will be judged by your own standard.
When you judge, criticize and condemn others you need to understand that you are opening yourself up to the same treatment. In accordance with the measure you deal it out to others, it will be dealt to you. If you do not want to be judged wrongfully or harmfully be careful not to commit the same offense against others. Treat your neighbor or fellow man the same way you want to be treated. If you do not want to be judged, DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS!
