It's been awhile. I've missed posting my thoughts. Things have been different for me lately and accordingly my thoughts have changed. Not my view; simply my thoughts and the ability to write them down, now that I can act them out and have other people to talk to about them. With that said, something came to me that I really haven't discussed before: Is judgment wrong?
Simple answer: nope. However, in our post-modern society today, if I dare make a judgment that in any way, shape or form can be taken negatively, it's wrong and I should not have even had such a thought. The irony of this statement however is that it in fact is a judgment in and of itself that negatively applies to me. This is the way of the post-modern: do whatever you want; think whatever you want; act however you want; just as long as you dont physically hurt anyone else and/or impose your beliefs on them. In other words, do what you want, wallow in your own sin and leave me to mine all the while not telling me what I'm doing is wrong.
The problem again with this mindset is that it in and of itself IS A JUDGMENT! It contradicts everything about contradiction. By saying no one is allowed to judge, you're in fact saying that no one else but you should judge yourself; again, in other words, I like to wallow in my own downfalls so please leave me there.
The implications of this are just mind-blowing. If this thought process were taken and applied universally, then it is completely justifiable for me to passover a kid drowning in a swimming pool, watch someone get shot on the side of the road and finally run naked throughout the streets while crapping on a picture of Hillary Clinton. None of these things are good; morally, ethically or otherwise.
So why is it okay to make judgments and to whose judgment should we be making them? I would simply state the 10 commandments. Don't you think it's rather ironic that the ACLU is trying to rip these out of America's fabric? What better way to push an agenda that basically states anarchy than get rid of the moral law of righteousness? Honestly, the reason our society says that we should not judge is because no one can decide what's right to judge BY, other than his or her own feelings of course.
This is only but another reason why there has to be something outside of time; something eternal; a Creator. If there isn't a universal standard by which we should be judged and/or judge others, I should have every right to do whatever I want, when I want and how I want... even if that means crapping on Hillary.
Bottom line: judging is right as long as it's done with a universal standard in mind and appropriate for the circumstance at hand. If someone can give me a good indicator outside the 10 Commandments on what we should judge by and why, by all means please let me know. Until then, no one can get past this thought; and that's a judgment you cannot escape from.
