Judgment and Biggest Pet Peeve
Judging Others
Judging others is one of my biggest pet peeve. An explanation of how it could be dangerous, how unfair it is, and finally how to stop being judgmental.
Introduction:
I. According to Sri Chinomy, “the more we judge others for their circumstances, the more we are likely to suffer from those same circumstances.’’

II. Judging others is dangerous a. According to Timothy Peck, “Judging other people is dangerous because it takes us into a false sense of security, blinds us to our own faults, and usurps God’s role as judge.”
