The psychological meaning of judgment is projection. The other person has nothing to do with you. It’s all in your head. Your body is framing your perspective. As soon as I judge another person, if I am sensitive, I realize all I am saying is: “I am wasting time. I should be facing this lens at myself: This is my problem, not theirs.” It is about a general regret of one’s life and accomplishments. When you love someone, it means you are in love with yourself. Just the other day, I wanted to walk up to a man and say: “I just want you to know you are amazing! If your ever doubt yourself, just give me a call.” Who knows what he would have said, but I would have opened myself up to his feelings and state of mind. Everything about the transaction would have been about me, how I was feeling. The only thing a point of view provides, is a point of view outside of the other person. I need to get Adobe Illustrator to work on my computer now or I am not going to be able to finish my book cover and thus my book, which is not, or so I think, as good as any number of books I own and love. So, I am a fine critic of books like mine, and almost always incapable of judging work, like Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
