JUDGE NOT, THAT YE BE NOT JUDGED

GOOD JUDGING, BAD JUDGING

by matt burns

Everybody judges

It’s part of the survival instinct

When we were more primal

We needed to use those instincts

To discern between safety and danger

If you see a man wearing dark clothes

And a hood

With purple hair

Covered in tattoos

You avoid that man

Your instincts say he could be dangerous

This is judging

But good judging

It’s survival skills

Inherent in human nature

Bad judging

Is when you finally meet that man

The man in dark clothing

Covered in tattoos

Purple hair

And you talk to him

And realize he’s nice

And starts sending good vibes

But you still get away from him

Because you don’t want to be seen with him

And your friends would say ‘why are you with that man?’

And your fantasies didn’t ever envision you with that kind of man

A man with an appearance antithetical to your dream man

So you get away from the man

This is bad judging

Bad judging

Is denying your gut

That gut that picks up the good vibes

Yet you ignore the good vibes

Because your ego tells you to walk away

You don’t associate with men of such appearance

Your gut is plugged into God

And if your gut’s telling you everything is good

God is telling you everything is good

So if you deny your gut, you deny God

And that is the sin

That is the sin of judging

It is all about the gut

All judging that is good judging

Comes from the gut

Because a man could have a wonderful appearance

But your gut could be saying something is wrong with him

If you listen to the gut, you listen to God

Appearances are the devil’s game

If you listen to the appearance, you listen to the devil
