It is very useful to notice our judgments and ask ourselves how they relate to our own guilt. As this guilt arises to the surface we can then let it go. As long as it remains unconscious it has power. If, for example, we judge (not just feel inconvenienced by but actually judge and feel a visceral response to) poor customer service this may be a reflection of our own guilt about sometimes being lazy or not performing well in our own work. To judge a murderer is to judge our own violent impulses. As we become aware of our own issues then events simply arise and then disappear, without having control over our emotional state.
