Suddenly, i have peas. And some of the pea pods are purple! Surprise! What did i plant anyway?
Plant a radish.
Get a radish,
not a Brussels sprout.
The same holds true of our mental qualities. Plant self-judgment and harvest self-judgment. As a matter of fact, plant judgment (of others), and harvest self-judgment because (here's the tricky part), since you know you judge, you assume that others are judging you--which may, in fact, not be true.
Judgments and opinions can be a lot of fun, and they can even be funny, but they will come back to bite you.
I'm biting into the purple pea pod to see how it tastes.
