You can't help but judge people. People naturally have an opinion.

The question has room for varying contexts, there is a perfectly healthy, natural, and even necessary sizing up, assessing.

A judgement is a conclusion, a premature assessment sometimes, but its just a collection of accumulated data up to a given point, data influenced by perception and personal experience in which an assumption or guess is derived.

The thing that I've noticed, is that most judgements are true for everbody at some point or another, this happens because people have in them all facets of human nature, some come out at different times for different reasons.

Honest men lie, punctual people will be late, defensiveness, grumpiness, happiness is all experienced and acted upon to varying degrees at varying junctures in response to varying circumstances.

That and we act like other people and often emulate behaviors.

I just feel there is a difference between being arrogant or attempting clairvoyance in thinking you know who a person is and why, as opposed to simply gathering and attempting to understand a persons looks, atttitude, and actions, which again is both natural and necessary.

No - I think we just think the worst of people, it is our nature. We should try not - especially me. I think I'm the worst at that.

In that respect, that tends to deal with people's moods or context of thought.

Everyone has and does things that are wrong, we are all guilty of lying and whatever else and everybody tends to do some good too, some more than others.

The thing is, the worst is always there, so is the best, what your more concerned with at a given time plus a person's current demeanor will dominate your judgements.

Very true - it isn't about them, even though you might think it is, it's really all about you.
