I figure Christians judging others are sinning.
Why is judgement of others a sin or even a bad thing anyway? Isn't it natural and spontaneous to judge others by such things as appearance and demeanor? And why is it pre-supposed that the judgement is always negative? I probably make just as many positive judgements of others in the course of a day.
Buddhism teaches non-judgement also, but more for self-liberating reasons rather than moralistic ones. If you judge someone, make it a correct one, but is apt to change at any given moment due to more information. Yet essentially, all judgement is empty and relative.
You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.
