We learn early enough not to respond in kind to unkindness for that is ego's playground. There is no outcome there. good or bad. There is just the constant obsession to get the better of the other because the other believes s/he got the better of us. And the mental obsession continues no matter if the other moves to China, drops dead or is otherwise removed from our physical presence.
The thought to focus on, and to stay focused on, is that when we say to not judge when being judged we are talking of our own perception of being judged.
Judging another for the negative vibes we think we're getting, naming those vibes (usually what we fear is true and don't want it to be), can only set the ego in motion to show the other up whether orally or mentally. There is no God in either for both invite the dance of the dunces...which releases the obsession.
Our perception dictates our attitude...upgrade our attitude we upgrade our problem. That is when our decision to trust that God has our back gets to strut its stuff. We turn to God...repeatedly, yet again, and one more once for as long as needed, or three days after we're dead whichever comes first. That is called spiritual growth.
If it is true, and I believe it is, that what we see is always ourselves, our perception is what we get to change. Just that and no more because no more is needed.
For that we go to God. And we go to God for God and that is all. For that is all that is needed.
Thank you.
