Everyone judges constantly: positively judging one person is the same as negatively judging everyone else it is to say that that person is superior in some sense.

I often find that people confuse inner peace with some sense of insensibility whenever something goes wrong. In such cases inner peace is a permit for destruction: The unyielding optimist will pretend that the forest is not burning either because he is too lazy or too afraid to go and put the fire out.
