Discussion on 'do not judge'

I would like to add to the good discussion on 'do not judge' just how much
stress & energy it takes from our inner selves when we judge.  We have to
evaluate, more often than not condemn in some way, have some kind of
chart or ladder where people are placed on it where the person puts them.

Is that person not becoming God then?  And indeed, the bible says that
'only God knows the heart', so how can I know?  So presumptuous to
think I know.

All I have is the appearance and even the world know and say that
'appearances can be deceiving'. 

Jesus said 'my burden is light'.  When I do not judge, there is no pressure
in this area.  I can relax.

I can quite simply just admit that 'I don't know'. 
And not judging can really save us also.  If a conman comes
along, he will look good, act good, seem to 'be good' and
definitely talk good.  If I judge, I will be ready to be set up
to be taken in.  If I don't judge, I can better see what the
person is about.  So, judging is the more quick and instant
thing that is done, while coming to decision whether to
talk to someone is process.
