Observation is not Judgement

You can say the sky has a lot of clouds in it.

You can say you don't like cloudy days or that cloudy days make you feel sad because

you miss the sun.

But those are not judgments, simply observations of your external and internal

worlds.

Just because someone doesn't like it doesn't make it not true.

Just because someone else is color blind doesn't mean the sky isn't blue.

How a blue sky makes someone feel is not a judgment—it's an internal observation.

A judgment would be that because the sky is blue, it is better or worse than if it were not what it is—that it is right or wrong, good or bad.

I have observed the skill of observation frequently misunderstood by others in conversation,

or reflection, due to, none other than—judgment.
