However, your judgment is human, worldly. Try to expel the human element and strive to acquire disinterestedness, in order to receive divine enlightenment, and your judgment will become a spiritual, divine one. Only then will your judgment be in accord with the righteousness of God and not with human righteousness, with the love and compassion of God and not with human logic. Only God judges justly, because only He knows our hearts. We, ignorant as we are of God\u2019s righteous judgment, judge others \u201caccording to the appearance,\u201d which is why we misjudge and wrong them. In other words, our human judgment is a great injustice.&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"eip3r\" data-offset-key=\"6lspu-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"6lspu-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"6lspu-0-0\">&#8211; &#8216;Passions and Virtues&#8217;<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"6lspu-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4033\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akuse-300x237.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akuse-300x237.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akuse-768x606.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akuse-1024x809.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/akuse.jpg 1721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;You may have a good disposition and an inner strength, but you are convinced that you always judge correctly.
