How Is Judgment Relinquished?

1

Judgment, like other devices by which the world of illusions is maintained, is totally misunderstood by the world.

It is actually confused with wisdom, and substitutes for truth.

As the world uses the term, an individual is capable of "good" and "bad" judgment, and his education aims at strengthening the former and minimizing the latter.

There is, however, considerable confusion about what these categories mean.

What is "good judgment" to one is "bad judgment" to another.

Further, even the same person classifies the same action as showing "good" judgment at one time and "bad" judgment at another time.

Nor can any consistent criteria for determining what these categories are be really taught. At any time the student may disagree with what his would-be teacher says about them, and the teacher himself is inconsistent in what he believes.

"Good judgment" in these terms, does not mean anything. No more does "bad."
