I've been thinking about judgment calls. We all make judgments that have us looking down our noses at others. When we're feeling better mannered, we pull them back in and try to soften them, or we remember that things often aren't our place to say -- but when we fail to restrain ourselves, we do a disservice to our fellows. Trying to actually be welcoming of other opinions rather than patting ourselves on the back for the instances when we sometimes are restrained is one of those interesting challenges (Christian challenges?) that very few people succeed at. But it'd be nice if we tried harder.
