There's a quote attributed to James Truslow Adams, or perhaps Robert Louis Stevenson, that says "There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us." Ultimately, it sounds like a fancy way of saying "We're all human."
Nobody's perfect. We all know that much already. But nobody's pure evil either. People that good and that bad exist only in fiction. For the rest of us, there's always some gray in there. Even the worst people who ever lived on the Earth were good enough to follow God's plan to come to Earth. Yet, even the best people are only human. If we were to judge each other, we'd all just be imperfect people pointing out each other's imperfections.
Given that none of us are perfect, none of us are the best people to pass judgement. Even the best people have some bad in them, and even the worst people have some good in them. So, I think that, rather than judging, we should look for the good in each other and try to encourage it.
