 Have you ever heard the saying, “We become what we judge?”

When we judge someone, our behaviors begin to mirror what we judge.  For example, if you judge someone for a prejudice, you become prejudiced against them.  You may have started from a place of moral righteousness (caution!  warning!) but you eventually become the very thing you resent.

Dear L. A. Plume,

It's only X number of days until we go to the polls to elect the President for the next 4 years.  I plan to vote; I've been voting for 44 years now.  I even (gasp!) know for whom I'll cast my ballot.  It's bad enough that I get umpteen calls at dinnertime with recordings of famous folk urging me to vote for their favorites, I just don't answer!  My issue, however, is that I have friends who are involved in campaigns who, in social situations, at dinner parties etc., pressure me to say how I'll vote, and if I decline to reveal my preference, bend my ear endlessly to persuade me to vote their ticket.
