There's a big difference between judging and evaluating.
Evaluating someone's actions entails taking in information and then choosing your next right action, while granting them the freedom to be exactly who they are. You are free.
Judging someone entails taking in information and then compartmentalizing your idea of them into your idea of right/wrong good/bad. You are deciding what they *should* do and making them wrong if they don't -- you are not granting them the freedom to be exactly who they are. You are not free.

Judging someone doesn't necessarily entail imprisoning them or condemning them.

Judging another means you are imprisoning or condemning
yourself. You kill off all possibility within yourself of that person being free. That doesn't mean anything at all about the person -- it's 100% about
you.
