Judgments create separation; acceptance fosters unity from "summary" of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
When you judge someone, you are essentially saying, "You are different from me. You are not like me." This creates a separation between you and the other person. It builds a barrier that prevents true connection and understanding from taking place. Judgment is a form of egoic thinking that reinforces the illusion of separateness. It is a way for the ego to feel superior or inferior to others, thus perpetuating a sense of division and conflict. On the other hand, acceptance is the key to unity. When you accept someone as they are, without judgment or resistance, you are able to see beyond their external appearance or behavior. You are able to connect with the essence of who they truly are, beyond the labels and roles that society has imposed on them. Acceptance is a form of love that transcends differences and unites us in our shared humanity. By letting go of judgment and embracing acceptance, you can dissolve the barriers that separate you from others. You can open your heart to the interconnectedness of all beings and experience a sense of unity and oneness with the world around you. Acceptance allows you to see the beauty and uniqueness in each individual, without the need to compare or compete. It is a powerful force that brings people together in harmony and peace. When you choose acceptance over judgment, you are choosing love over fear. You are choosing to see the light in others, rather than focusing on their shadows. You are choosing to let go of the ego's need to feel separate and superior, and instead, embrace the truth of our shared existence. In this way, acceptance becomes a path to unity and connection with all living beings.
