"To be able to look at another and offer love instead of judgment is the greatest level of a spiritual being. All of us have judgment, but when we treat others with respect and love, we can transform that judgment into mercy. Moreover, as we diminish our judgment of others, so is the judgment towards us lessened.
Today, take a few moments to feel the energy of the person next to you and treat him or her as you yourself would like to be treated. As you do, know that you are contributing to the peace in the world."
[Kabbalah Centre]
To look upon another without needing to judge them, without wanting to find a way that you come out on top and to put them on the bottom, judging them as good or bad, judging yourself as good and them as bad. Not to compare others with yourself and try to be more than them, not to think you are in a position to judge others as an authority over others, instead knowing that all people should be treated equally with no one who claims to be better or more than another.
Not to ask questions of another to put them on the defense, to try to find fault, to cross examine someone with the intent of pointing out their wrongness, not to act like a lawyer and accuse others of unethical behavior and say you yourself are ethical. Not to judge people and line them up, not to cause another to feel lower in status than you, not to say you are better and to force someone to be on the bottom as you step on them to be on the top.
To have acceptance of others, to give other people the benefit of the doubt, to excuse others, to be forgiving of others and not to hold grudges or to blame them.
