A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
What is the difference between 'judging' someone and simply 'disagreeing' with someone? Is it possible to let someone know you disagree with them without judging them? If you form a conclusion about something someone else does, or says, and stand by your conclusion, with or without pertinent fact, about the situation, your judging. The conclusive nature of judging sometimes goes along with wanting someone to be wrong even though they aren't. I'm sure if you just disagree later facts could change your opinion. Lots of people disagree without bothering to get the other side of a situation. I'm fairly sure there are lots of people who live together or are good friends but have the kind of relationship that allows for disagreement without judgement. Disagreement built the USA two party system. ![]() My dad loved the Cleveland Indians. He would listen to everyone of their games. I think he would be delighted they made it to the playoffs.
