*Edited to focus more on what I learned and not so much on the back story that triggered the 'ah-ha' moment for me.
I recently pondered why the phrase, "Stop judging" gets thrown around so often. I've been accused of 'judging' others mostly in my online interactions with others (on facebook or babycentercommunity.com). On the flipside, many people I interact with in real life (in my ward for example) have expressed their appreciation for me NOT being judgmental of them even though others have made harsh first judgments about others with multiple body piercings, tattoos and substance addictions.
It has caused me concern that on one hand I am being accused of being judgmental and on the other hand I am being applauded for not judging - there is definitely an inconsistency out there and I wanted to figure out what it was.
