Maybe i should give a bit more clarification on what I meant to judge. I used to think it’s accepted and normal to look around you and analyse other people. more than just dress, and not people I know well. That guy looks sad, bet you he had a fight with his spouse. That guy looks like a shlump, he doesn’t know how to look after himself. That child is always running around on the streets, where are his parents, his home must be dysfunctional. So yes of course when we do judge it should be favorably. but who said we should be looking around and analysing other people and their personal lives? The ideal would be to look at the person and say he has a neshoma, we don’t understand, we don’t have a clue what’s going on in his life, how can we even judge… Maybe judging and favorably is more for people we know in a personal way, doing/saying something we don’t expect of them.
