The question: are all judgements bad ? seems of course an interesting controversy in itself. We assume generally judgements are 'good', so how can they be 'bad' when we know we are 'right' and all that jazz (as been discussed throroughly by other posters). I think that basically a 'judgement' is a 'definite' and unfortunately does not seem to leave room for nuances. Life is not black and white and therefore our 'judgements' (or assessments, I like that one Angela) shouldn't be either. But we know the ways of the (current
) world..... The stereo typing of 'child molesters is also a 'definite' and I like :

The point I am trying to make in my example is that, even though it appears as if people do terrible things for no valid reason, one always exists if you look deeply enough. It is not that child molesters or any of the various other types of criminals are just "bad people" and that's the way it is. These people become the way that they are because of terrible experiences that have happened to them in the past. Help these people get through those past experiences, and you will stop them from doing terrible things as well.

Sounds accurate to me. Good posts. (Oh dear, that's a 'judgement'...
)
PS: What
really weighs most likely are the consequences of a judgement and that's what we are really talking about instead of the 'judgements' themselves. It's like saying: this lady stole my handbag and >>she will go to jail or you let her off, or: the war in Irak is going from bad to worse and >>more soldiers are being send or not..., or: the neighbour has his volume up to loud on friday nights and he is an inconsiderate prick and>> you start arguing or you ask why he does it and just talk to him.
PS2: Someone told me there's always 3 things we can do with whatever situation: we can go forward, we can move back, or we can choose to stay where we are. That would apply to making assessments too and what we coose to do because of it.
