Judgment or reflection?

"Judging others, I have discovered, does not let in joy. Stepping away from judgment does." ~Kate Nowak


Poem Artwork

Have you ever wondered why some people are quick to judge another?
Could it be the result of self-defamation that causes him to belittle a brother?
I have found that if I look for it there is something good to be seen in others
It is a reflection of my own moral fiber if I dwell on another’s’ inadequacies
For what I find myself looking for in all of life is truly a reflection on me
I would rather show forgiveness for in so doing I find myself exonerated
By taking a forgiving attitude for others my own shortcomings are thus abated
“As you judge others so shall you be judged,” as the good book does impart
Looking for the good in others truly does purify your own heart

Lew,

Your poem rings so much truth. We must indeed look for the good instead of faults.

Mary
