Iudicium



It is human nature to be critical and picky.
I am a human being. I am critical and picky.
I think the critical side of human nature is meant
to be used for preventing possible errors
or accidents.
I don't think it is meant to be used to
destroy other people.
Isn't that usually what it does get used for though?

I am human. I hate to be judged, tested,
evaluated, criticized.
But since I automatically notice various details
in others, I can expect them to notice details about me.

I can't please everyone.
Some days it seems like
I can't please anyone.

I am glad my occupation in life is not that
of judge and ruler over
the general population of the world,
my nation, state, city, and especially
not of my community.
Since I am not likely to get paid
for judging and it has negative impacts
on others around me, why should I do it?

Soli Deo gloria et judicium Dei
=
"To God alone be glory and the judgment of God"
