There is an important distinction between discerning and judging
and author Jennifer Hadley offers to expose it:
Hadley relates the roots of our habit of judging, among others, to what she calls "old" or "traditional" belief systems:
"Many things in life seem painful, horrible, destructive – even evil. Yet if we live in a universe of oneness and divine order, there must be a spiritual purpose to everything, regardless of whether [or not] we see it. [Ernest] Holmes taught that evil is: 'that which appears destructive. And we all know that appearances are deceiving.'
When[ever] I’m willing to give up my opinion, I’ll finally have a chance of seeing divine order… Each time I demonstrate [this] willingness, I become lighter."
