How to Be a Better Person

Video Transcript

"Judge not lest ye be judged. We've all heard that, we don't want to make moral or value judgments for others do we? This is Dr. Paul, author of Boomer Girls, A Boomer Woman's Guide to Men and Dating. If you want to be a better person, I'm going to let you know how to become a better person. Don't make moral or value judgments for others. That is the key way to become a better person. Let's face it, we criticize in others what we fear most in ourselves. So if you really want to be a better person, and I'm sure many of us do, whether we're in a dating situation, a relationship situation and regardless of what the relationship may be, nobody likes to have someone else judge them. You're not paid to be a judge, you're not in front of a jury, so the bottom line is don't make the value or judgmental questions something a part of you. You can't live in the other person's shoes. Even the American Indians said you can't walk in another man's moccasins. And that's very true, regardless of the culture, regardless of their religion, regardless of the society, everyone of them whether it's Buddhism, Protestantism, Catholicism, whatever, Judaism, they all have a basic tenant, don't judge others. Because in doing so, basically you're judging yourself and that's the way to become a better person. This is Dr. Paul, may your fantasies of today be your realities of tomorrow."
