“There is such a thing as righteous judgment, but it seems that lately the word 'judgment' has become a curse word, period. The issue isn't whether or not we're insightful enough to avoid being judgmental, but whether or not we're secure enough to accept being judged. It is inevitable for every conscious human being to judge. It may spring from insight and experience and sincerity, and in such cases, it is quite beneficial on the receiving end.” HumansMayEndsEnoughSeemsHuman BeingsAcceptingCasesIssuesJudgingPeriodsJudgmentSpringConsciousInsightSecureInevitableCurseInsightfulSincerityJudgedReceivingRighteousBeneficialJudgmentalBeing JudgedCurse WordsBeing Judgmental Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“What shall be said, then, of those who insist upon ignoring the question of slavery as not involved in this deadly feud, and maintain that the only issue is, the support of the government and the preservation of the Union? Surely, they are "fools and blind"; for it is slaveholders alone who have conspired to seize the one, and overturn the other.

“How ignorant we are! How ignorant everyone is! We can cut across only a small area of the appallingly expanding fields of knowledge. No human being can know more than a tiny fraction of the whole.
