JUDGING

Judging others is strongly discouraged in the Baha'i Faith. "O Son of Being! How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others? Whoso doeth this is accursed of me." So many messages we get in day to day life encourage judging others. For instance, we learn that it is humorous to find faults with others. Sometimes it seems that finding other people's problems would somehow lessen our own. Many gossip simply to alleviate boredom. However, striving to refrain from judging others, whether vocally or internally, helps us to grow spiritually and to feel happier.

update

it's been a year since my stroke and things have slowed down for my recovery but I'm still here and doing my exercises every day and writing. I put my painting off for a while because I need more inspiration. In the meantime I am still trying to write a book about my family I don't know if anyone will be interested but at least I can leave something for my children to let them know how much I love them and what a crazy bunch we were. Eccentric doesn't even begin to describe us we were creative and elusive and just downright different than the average person. I hope that it will give my children a glimmer of who we were and what we did to survive. Tune in again to see what is going on if you would like to hear more. Thanks for your interest and I hope to hear from you soon. ruie
