Judging

Those who live in the desert should not judge too hastily those who live near the seashore. Those who live on the seashore should not be too quick to set their minds about people who live in the desert. Until you walk a mile in someone else’s shoes, you should not be too hasty to base opinions on them. Just like we find a teacher, we should refrain from exalting him or her too soon. Nor should we be quick to decide that they are not for us. A man who has no or little experience in carpentry should not criticize those constructing a temple or trying to show him how to build the temple. We often make decisions based on darkness. Until all things are out in the light, we must wait to decide. Some of the best teachers I have had, I did not like much at the beginning. They were demanding and difficult. Yet, through determination, I stayed with them and was rewarded immensely with their wisdom. Every teacher has their own style. You should adjust to them, not expect them to adjust to you. Be thankful that they are there to teach you what you need to know.
