To judge or not to judge?

In answer to a question about "judgments", Marshall Rosenberg responded, "I’m all for judgments. I don’t think we could survive very long without them. We judge which foods will give us what our bodies need. We judge which actions are going to meet our needs. But I differentiate between life-serving judgments, which are about our needs, and moralistic judgments that imply rightness or wrongness." It's easy for people to view judgements as inherently wrong, and yet our ability to survive requires that we be able to judge wisely. This episode explores the merits of judgement.
