Reflections.

Impartial Observer: She's beginning to sound like pulic enemy number 1. Maybe it is time to turn your attentions to more positive subjects.

Took a trip down memory lane: thought about pivotal incidents in the past months, and reflected upon my reactions and self. Decided to edit some posts -- if not just to allow some people a more graceful departure from the centrestage. (Too bad if they trip over their own feet though. Blink.)

Nevertheless, am going to practise some discipline in reflecting on my thoughts, motivations and self.

Yes, it is time to move on -- before I find myself in Gollums Anonymous too. Heh.

I find it a curious oddity for a Christian to qualify a personal opinion by proclaiming either before or after, that it is not for him/her to judge; just stopping short at the final "judgement".

But really, the very fact that someone has an opinion, whether arising from religious beliefs or something else, is already an assessment/judgement, is it not? Even if one narrows the definition of "judgement" to the "divine sentence" -- whether one goes to Heaven or Hell -- surely, this judgement cannot be mutually exclusive from the necessary and precedent process of assessing the sum and nature of one's good and wrongdoings? The additional step of making that "divine sentence", as such, is merely a formality to "conclude" the process of evaluation; the point being, that something as "simple" as an opinion, is already a judgement.

Ironically, it is perhaps the embrace of the religion that causes one to become more judgemental -- by becoming more sensitive to the "rights" and "wrongs" in the world, according to the Bible.
