Theos-Talk Archives (November 2006 Message tt00770)

Adelasie,

Thanks. 

You say: 

"But  nowhere does thesosophy support making judgements about our brothers  and sisters based on our opinion of their motives."

I say:

"Then you should not judge anyone, too, should you?"

I tried to say that trees can be judge by their fruits. Now I add: "non-judging people" can be most judgmental in their own way. radical   And insistently so! 

They have a right to be judge and evaluate, of course.  But it may be no use making believe they do not do so....

Carlos.
