Judging others and ourselves(DW#8)
What happens when someone falls short of your expectations? Do you judge them by their failure to act in accordance with your expectations? If a close friend forgets a birthday, for example, do you judge them for their failure to remember?
Now when you fail to do something, do you judge yourself by your good intentions? For example, I always intend to wish friends on their birthdays but often lose track of the day until it has passed. I often console myself by reminding myself that I did intend to call but somehow didn't.
How about assuming that everyone has at least as good intentions as we do?
We are likely to be so much more forgiving of small and big lapses if we practice this regularly.
