Is it right to judge another person before you know them?

Is power something you find important ?

I don’t know if it’s right or wrong, but it helps you out in more situations to judge someone than not. That is why we do judge people before we get to know them, to be on the safe side. What kind of power are you talking about?

We shouldn’t judge before we know the person better he/she may look like a very nice person and can hate us . Maybe the ugly and not so good looking person is the honest person from a place full of beautiful people ! My advise is better know someone first before you judge:)

yes, if they seem dangerous, there’s a larger chance that they are, so sometimes it’s sensible to judge them, if they have a big leather jacket on and walk with a swagger for example.

Yeah, you have to judge people to increase your chance of survival.

if they hold a knife above your head, and look like they’ve been taking drugs, i would like to have power in that situation, mental and physical, but in general i think it is wrong to assume someone is actually evil, they have just had a very different life

Pre-judge. it’s another word for prejudice. In that context it is clearly not right. The Masters have taught us how to live time and time again. Judgment of other will only lead to your downfall. Power? of course power is important. But more important is how you USE power.

you know if i think well about it we all can judge for a minute about someone for the way they look or talk and so on …. we are all human and we all make mistakes ! So we ain’t perfect so we do judge others before we know them :(

i suppose :) , if someone was covered in water it would be wrong to simply assume that they had taken a shower as they may have jumped in a lake instead :)

God says we should never judge another person. so i don’t. if i choose i don’t
Like someone or don’t want to have to deal with them i just stay away from them.
Judge someone is a waste of time. say a person has killed someone. if that person
Treats you good and talks to you good is that a reason for you to judge them.

Always move in with caution and take what you’ve heard into account, but Judge for yourself. Some things are true, some things are elaborated ******** you’ve heard down the grapevine, and over the years someone can change. But most maintain those flaws throughout life.

I have been judged by people at a distance. I never knew anyone did this until it happened to me.

No, sometimes people judge others for power. It is possible that two people get along well one on one but in a larger social context, one will treat the other badly. Maybe not be as nice in front of his/her friends.

Some judging is right
Some judging is wrong
However, when it comes to people i think that it’s wrong. if u judge someone right away, u could be missing out on a lifelong friendship
