How clever and fitting that an anagram for judging is "Dung Jig." What a great lesson in what you look like when you judge others. It reminded me of the life lesson in a 1928 silent film called "Street Angel". One of the title cards reads:
"Everywhere… in every town, in every street… we pass, unknowing, human souls made great by love and adversity." So don't look down on others. The people you are judging may be a lot nicer than you think.
I love the correlation! And think of all of the amazing opportunities you miss out on when you judge someone. Thanks for your comment and sharing "Street Angel"!
Ah, Heather, how many dung jigs have I danced in my life? And how many times a day do I continue to do the dance? At least I am aware of it and try to catch myself! Progress is slow. But I have learned one thing. A certain friend I have LOVES to gossip and judge and when she begins, I remind myself it takes TWO to play the gossip game. If she says, "He is such an insufferable egotist!" and I reply with, "Yes, maybe, but you know he is so good to his family," then the judging has no where to go. Do you find that, too? I always try to reply with something positive. She may not want to be my friend any more if I don't follow the gossip rules. Or maybe she will learn something. Thank for this fine reminder - so helpful, as always. Sharron
