And isn't avoiding judgment....passing a judgment? Doesn't one have to decide......to not decide? Although George Bernard Shaw said, "The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that's the essence of inhumanity," I would paraphrase that to say: - The worst sin towards [anything (e.g. nature)] is not to hate [it], but to be indifferent to [it]: that's the essence of inhumanity [and the reason why amoraliity is as bad as immorality].
