to be judge, and to be judged

"afterall, sexuality is only a very small part of a person."

..and so are other small things that come together to be part of us. so how can we judge someone to be good or bad just based on a single quality?

for example, you may hate a person for doing something that you deem to be wrong. however, that's just one thing that this person has done in his life, as opposed to the many other good things that he may have done.

who are we to judge anyway? they might have reasons for their actions; and these reasons are borne out of other previous encounters. and these are in turn borne out of other situations again. also, are we going to count the number of good versus bad things this person has done, in order to determine his calibre? what if the "good deed" he has done is more "important" than the "bad deed"? what if he has good intentions for doing the "bad deed"? there are so many things to consider, that i think it is impossible for us to come to an unbiased decision about a person's character. passing out judgements is tiring and painful to both the judge and the judged.

may i keep this in mind whenever i start being critical of others, and also equally importantly, myself.
