When you judge someone, try to consider the circumstances that got them where they are. Also, try to imagine yourself in their shoes. Would their fate be justified if it were your own?
I prefer to say "Stop wasting time judging, other people or even yourself". It doesn't help anyone.
In this context I take judging to mean "form a conclusion about". Probably not the right choice of word.
I disagree. Popular idioms like "don't pass judgment on others" lead people to believe judging oneself and others is bad. The definition of judgment is
The act or process of judging; the formation of an opinion after consideration or deliberation.That sounds like a very healthy practice, as opposed to reacting purely based on emotions, in an irrational manner.What you might consider bad is the reaction to a judgment.
