Judgement-Humanity-Lost Connect; Why?

Does judgement cloud decision?

Does judgement cloud character?

Does judgement mean comparison - better than or less than or worth it?

Does comparison forget humanity?

Is humanity - love, fear, joy, happiness, morose?

Does this cloud also affect what they share and the connection?

Why not keep it simple and not judge!

"...But the question is not how to retreat or how to prune yourself back to some pristine, native state. In fact, it is the opposite: how to recognize the narrowness of this so-called broadened mind – to realize that Europe is not the universe – and to take your sensing and knowing beyond those dominant ideas of the true, the good, and the beautiful."

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
