I’m having trouble with somebody at the moment, someone I’ve
come to refer to as ‘the goblin.’ Well, such a pejorative soubriquet is hardly
edifying, is it? And so I realise that I must try harder to understand people
and be less judgemental (or even not judgemental at all.) The Buddhists teach
that one should develop the habit of ‘non-judgemental observation’ and that
sounds like good advice to me. But does it mean that I should be non-judgemental
both ways? Should I avoid praising as well as decrying? It would seem illogical
to do one without the other.
And on the subject of praise, I find myself startled every
year when the apple blossom breaks. I always want to make an impassioned post
about its beauty, but how often should you allow yourself to say the same thing? Have a
picture from Pinterest instead. This is what mine looks like at the moment:
