Just a note on your above comment.<br /><br />Being judgemental is not only helpful, judgement is a spontaneous response of all those who have a value-system they stand by. Judgement cannot be helped (& nor should it be).<br /><br />If, in a situation 'a', I respond with 'b' instead of 'c', because I think 'b' to be a better/more noble/more 'ought to' response as compared to 'c', then how can I not think negatively about one responding with 'c'. Surely, except for if one is ambivalent or unsure of what to do in 'a', then one might not be judgement of one responding with 'c', otherwise it's not possible to not be judgemental.<br /><br />If we would not find 'b' to be better than 'c', why would we ever incorporate that as a response to 'a' in our value-system?<br /><br />Yes, but we cannot impinge on others' right/privilege to use 'c' the chosen response unless & until it goes against some rule or protocol. If they're known to us we can (& in fact, must) discuss <b>why</b> 'b' or 'c' is perceived to be the better response.<br /><br />I firmly believe ethics should be discussed on as much rational bases as possible.<br /><br />Thanks for your honest comment! It made me a tad more confident & a tad less guilty about my being judgemental. And moreover, being judgemental is fun. ;) It makes life less boring, e.g., provides raw material for gossiping. :DKetanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02622410643454108685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124996108755977048.post-32192098949122826652010-06-04T14:21:40.596+05:302010-06-04T14:21:40.596+05:30Being judgemental always helps.

To me, it is assessment, evaluation... and it is a matter of pride to be a good judge of people...<br /><br />Anyway, I learnt how not to stage Gibran's prophet - what not to do and what else instead should be done...Sowmya Chakravarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16111792272627772775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5124996108755977048.post-10125000126633357722010-06-01T20:01:09.400+05:302010-06-01T20:01:09.400+05:30You have only yourself to blame if you go for a pl...You have only yourself to blame if you go for a play directed by someone called master.
