We also make a judgment when we decide or choose the subsequent behavior that projects out of our values. So when you pass on one judgment "A" you are merely making the judgment to pass on judgment "A." >> Andre, Gail, Lorna and all, My definition of judgment is different from yours: "Judgment is the process of making a choice or in other words making a decision which value to use." I believe the decisions we make are a subset of the choices we have. Choosing to judge (judging) is a choice. We do not have to choose to judge. Note that in my discussion, I use the word "judgment" to mean a decision where one determines whether the decision made is right, wrong, good or bad. Not all decisions are made with the added layer of "judgment" upon it. Nonjudgment has been very helpful to me.

Even when we think we understand, we may not. When I give the gift of a story, my story is given without any obligation on the part of the listener - they may choose to do what they wish with it. - Mary **** Mary K.
