ooh YEAH! this is a hot topic with me at the moment. I was writing about it a few weeks ago... I think many people cannot even understand the concept of observing without judgement. Its almost like second nature to most people.. Until you can snap yourself out of it!!!
There is way out of it, which is to practice detachment and equanimity .. when we can master these two states, we no longer need to judge anything!
That post is worth a read i'd say, Its part of a series im nearly finished.. i think you will see what I mean... its a good'un..some REAL gems in there ..
