“Recognising our own mistakes helps us to empathise non-judgementally with others and helps enable us to understand their issues.”

“If we develop in-depth knowledge it will enable us to give our best to others and help to make a better world.”

“Pride helps us; and pride is not a bad thing when it only urges us to hide our own hurts—not to hurt others.”

“...I am discovering that it is truly a mistake--it may even be a moral wrong, in fact--to judge. Truth is too complex, too contradictory, too mercurial, to be one-sided, though it is human nature to prefer the reassurance and ease of firm judgement. Judgement helps us to justify our less savory actions.”

“It seems that most of us could benefit from a brush with a near-fatal disaster to help us recognise the important things that we are too defeated or embittered to recognise from day to day.”

“It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us.”
