Do not judge
If you hear that someone has attacked a child, someone robbed the house, where a terrorist took hostages or a bomb on a busy street, how do you react to this? Maybe you just start to criticize and blame those who are involved in this? Or are you mentally send light and love to all, knowing that whoever did this, too, after all, is a man like you?
Most of us immediately throws his emotions, starting with conviction: "How can such a thing to do?", "It's just awful," "How can you be so heartless?" Our ego is always ready to judge and blame, to be right, when all others are wrong. As soon as there is a problem, our ego in the first place trying to figure out who to blame. It likes to resort to all sorts of comparisons. He wants to feel "better than" others, so often the ego is surprisingly moralistic and obnoxious.
Ancient wisdom tells us that whenever we blame someone pointing a finger at him, three fingers point at this time to ourselves. (Look at your hand, repeating the gesture, and make sure the truth of these words.) Another tradition of mysticism claims that we get an answer in the treble, so it would be wise to send another boundless love, not condemnation.
It is not always easy to keep their judgments. If someone acted improperly in relation to you or (more insidious) in relation to your loved one is very easy to be tempted to blame the perpetrators of it, to give vent to his rage, send a curse. But that would mean that we separate ourselves from them and, therefore, automatically move in tough times. Instead, it should abandon the perception of this as a personal insult and suggest that the man, for example, was something he offended, angry or just scared, and therefore not acted in the best way.
Perhaps in these circumstances we have started to act the same way. You can mentally give love to this man over evil and hostility and, at the same time condemning anyone, including yourself, ask how and why we are attracted to imagine. Thus, we get a lesson of life experience and also preserve the peace of mind a carefree time. Waiver of conviction is a fine recipe for inner peace.
One way to deter their judgments is a reminder that we can never see the full picture of what happened. If a stranger behind the wheel of an angry honk you, you have no idea with what he had to face stress today. The fact is that we can not know everything that is experiencing this man, so in this case would be wiser to send him all the best wishes and then drop the episode. If someone begging on the street, we do not know the history of this man nor his highest aim and purpose. If we knew all, maybe we would feel pity, or even experienced it would delight the poor. If someone killed a child, we do not know anything at this most of my childhood killer. We did not live his troubled thoughts and feelings and do not know what suffering he had to endure. Maybe we'd even started to feel sorry for this criminal. "By the grace of God go I ..."
Similarly, we have to keep their opinions about God / Goddess for what the world is full of suffering. We do not see the full picture, so you can not assume that either God is powerless to do anything, or he does not care. If we knew the whole story from beginning to end, perhaps then we would understand the meaning of many things.
If we hold our judgments, this does not mean that we remain indifferent to what is happening around us. It is human nature and it is appropriate to be outraged when we see someone with someone mistreats, or hear about the suffering that could have been avoided. But in any case, we can easily stay away from accusations and condemnations, but instead to send light and love, and, therefore, to move forward in its growth. If we stop condemning and blaming others, our own relationship with the warm and become more harmonious, and it becomes easier to live.
