Our judgements of others and ourselves are so easily accessible/our conditioning/knee jerk reaction and show how much pain we're in. They give us and others a reflection into ourselves, our state of mind, what's in our heart. They distract us from our own work.

Ahead in the comments, somebody mentioned something about healthy food and "why the speaker does not do that". I totally disagree with that. First of all, she may very well eat healthy food. It is not really my business or our business. And more importantly, her words are helpful to me regardless of whether or not the speaker is perfect. And who is perfect? I don't think there is a "perfect human being". But one may nor be "perfect" but , like Sharon, may be able to transmit in a successful way the principles and practice of meditation.That is what matters to me. Or when one goes to the doctor , does the effectiveness of the doctor helping us depends on whether or not the doctor has no obvious defects? Certainly no. You want a doctor who is knowledgeable, and kind. It does not matter if he/she is tall or short, overweight or underweight, bold or with a head full of hair. And then you have to ask yourself: is being overweight a defect? Or is it a quality of a human being that does not actually hurts me or injures me in anyway.

if she knows the way how to live, why don't she knows how to eat healthy food

[@drakkeur]

If you eat too much healthy food you will gain weight
