Judgments

We tend to judge people or label them according to our own emotions.  If I am a fear based person, for instance, then a lot of people would be judged by my reaction to them.  If I am frightened by them, even though I don’t know them, they must be bad people.  A lot of prejudice might be fear based.  I remember long ago walking into a meeting of people I did not know personally, but who had “problems” that brought them there.  I had fear, though I did not know it at the time.  I judged them weird, or crazy and was quite uncomfortable.  But for whatever reason I went back and back again.  In time they became wonderful people, quite enlightened, I discovered.  What changed?  Me.  I dropped my fears.
