A Failure of Perspicacity

Have you ever watched the actions or behavior of someone and thought to yourself, “that’s is so wrong”? 

It’s likely that you don’t really understand where their perspective, or perhaps the context of the act. It may be what you saw is perfectly justified by what you didn’t see – and didn’t know.

I can say with confidence that making assumptive judgments based on uninformed guesses can get you into trouble. I’d bet that some of us have even made a snap judgment of someone or something, and then or mouth by-passed our brains, and said it out loud.

These tactless outbursts might have even been overheard, and the person respond.  “Don’t You Judge Me”! But, Do those words mean what you think they mean?

Mathew (KJV) 7:1-3

1.     Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2.    For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again.
3.    And why beholdest thou the mote that is in they brethren’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in thine own eye?
