Judging

I was walking behind someone yesterday and noticed myself admiring her yoga gear. And then thinking warmly of myself as a nice person for silently sending approval to the woman. 

But approving is still judging. I’m not talking about right and wrong, or good and bad. I’m talking about judgment, about being in other people’s business, about concerning ourselves with other people’s lives.

It’s one thing to see something and think I may get that for myself; but to feel better as a person because I approve of them – well that’s just arrogant.

Who cares whether I like someone else’s yoga set or not?
