Because judgement from others allows us to see flaws we may not have realized we had, or strengths that we never knew we possessed. Judging is not inheritly bad, hence good judgment and bad judgment. And while it is true there is no perfect being in this world, due to standards set by a group of people (not a single set of standards, mind you, but standards set by friends and governments and families, etc...) it is possible for those who are imperfect to be able to judge soundly. What needs to be kept in mind is differing opinions in judgment and biased points of view. When judgment is biased due to a personal feeling or conflict, then the judgment is flawed itself. If it is unbiased and impersonal, than you might want to look into it closer.

I also wouldn't say loving someone for their flaws is good. It's being able to love someone despite their flaws that is good.

How are we supposed to grow as individuals or trust each other if nobody is completely honest? Our behaviors and our attitudes are learned, not inherited, and if nobody teaches anybody anything then nobody learns and nobody grows.

Judgment is good. Listen to judgment, whether or not you like it. How you apply that judgment is your own business. Just know that without having our flaws pointed out, we may miss most of them and be unable to fix them to become better and happier people.

I don't think I could've said it better myself.

Stac, I'm glad you're who you are. You darn well better keep in touch when you go to college... ;)
