What Does "I Don't Judge" Mean to You? - Page 3

jubilant · ‎06-10-2010

We all make judgements every day. I think a lot of what goes on is criticism and incorrect judging. Here is a list of how some people remark. These are incorrect ways to give an opinion in ways that can hurt or irritate people. I have seen most of these here at one time or another. I rather imagine most of us have done some of these at one time or another. Some people, however, have made it a lifestyle and see it as ok. None of these are ok.

@Sooner To me, it means that I judge people based on who they are and my interactions with them. I may not like something that they have said or done, but if I can understand their reasoning, whether I agree or not, then I don't judge them and I accept them for who they are. That does not mean that I don't give my opinion. Like most, I have a line that cannot be crossed. I don't make a judgment unless that line is crossed.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

What kinds of things should you NOT judge? Do you judge the actions but not the person

--------------------------------

Your neigbor left his dog tied up in the yard all day - no food or water ... it's 30 degrees outside and started the snow.

-------------------------------

Man down the street killed his wife and kids in a drunken rage.

You found out your brother-in-law is cheating on your sister.

@Sooner

Depends on the post. Some probably use the sentence literally and are not being judgmental. Others unthinkingly seem to write that they do not judge just before making a judgmental statement. Pay them little or no attention!

To me the phrase has religious undertones.

THANKS to all who posted these thoughtful responses! It has been an interesting and enlightening discussion.

I appreciate all of your time and efforts!

It means they are trashing, bashing, critcizing, making fun of or belittling someone but they arent't honest enough or woman enough to just do it. They want to pretend that they didn't mean....what they just said.

@ECBG

Agree with your explanation.

However, after today I'm so confused with so many things! I KNOW I sounded judgemental (or questioning) in my lengthy post. So stressful.

Money screams; wealth whispers.

@BirkiLady Not necessarily. In these posts a lot is lost because there are no voice inflections and facial expressions. We all see life through the filter of our lives which has led us to the mental place we are now.
