I'm sure you will agree you are indeed not perfect. I'm sure you have made mistakes, or have done things you wish you hadn't. I'm sure you have been tempted to do something you believed to be wrong. I'm sure you have lied, hated, judged. If you've done any of these, you are not perfect.
Further, if there is a God, I believe He would have His own standards of morality. Perfection would be in comparison to those standards.
Everyone is offended from time to time. Maybe it shows something about ourselves that we are offended, or maybe it is just because, as I said, no one is perfect.
I also think everyone judges, and is something we all try not to do. You speak of it above like it is some novel concept to you, and you have no idea why anyone has trouble with it, but I think it is a universal concept and vice.

My asking why it is so difficult 'not to judge' was a genuine question. If we are to remove judgement then we have to remove the cause which I believe are unrealistic expectations without understanding.
It is your judgement that I am not perfect in comparison to godly qualities but I fit in perfectly with the rest of humanity.
Why can't we all be perfect within our humanity instead of imperfect in the eyes of unattainable self-righteousness?
