Every family has its own set of circumstances and problems that only its members can fully understand. One thing I can say, however, is that, no matter what kind of people your parents are, they are your parents. If you did not have those parents, you would not be alive. It is important to understand the deep significance of this point. -Daisaku Ikeda

Judgement is the denial of one's true character. Judgement is something that is placed upon others to justify the behavior, as well as the attitudes, of the person who is judging (or the 'judge'). My belief is that Only you can judge yourse lf.... the rest is an infringement on who we are as people, ie: labels, and so forth. When judging a person--or more accurately placing a a value judgment on a person--we violate that individual's innate right to the integrity to which they are entitled. Judgment is slander when not held before the person that is being judged. Judgment is meant to rattle the very foundation of our unique, integral, characters.
