Re: friendship

Actually I just posted a corrolary to this statement in my personal blog saying much of the same thing. I, being human, have my judgements. In most cases I try not to let these out as my brain knows that each person has their path. Yet is it somehow noticeable?

Or because of those judgements, do I not emanate a feeling of acceptance?

I think there are specific cases in my life where this does play a major part and I'm aware of those. I wondered if in general it does still cause a problem when I don't feel I am being judgemental? It may be possible: even if I am not coming down on someone I know, I do have high standards. That could make someone defensive, wondering how I would judge them - and this may be a very general reason for defenses over intimacy among friends. hmmm...

This being the case, I get to consider how open and loving I am to people in different places in their lives. I'm good at love but have never been so good at unconditional love. Something to think about for me....
