As I see it, choosing compassion and understanding is still often a judgmental position because it can still put the belief on a pedestal. Attachment to belief is still an ego impulse, and it lowers awareness, no matter how good the belief may be. It's really about complete acceptance of all ways of life. You choose what is right for you, but that does not mean it's right for everyone else, no matter how strongly you feel about it. Recognizing the validity of all ways of life not only eliminates internal conflict, but also expands consciousness dramatically.
