Most of us have been brought up under the influence of the phrase
"judge not or you shall be judged". Like many common suggestions ,
this one has many interpretations, and as such, proves to be an
interesting yardstick to ones growing awareness.
Try this one for size.
Given the premise we are all unique. (To recognise such uniqueness can
be associated with the more 'obscure' term of self realization).
It is unarguable that we each have a unique set of experiences, not
only in what happens to us and when, but how we interpret such
events.In the early days we often need to make comparisons to get a
fix on our own position.(Ever wondered what it would be like to be
Bill Gates???)
As one grows, the 'connection' to our own originality grows also, but
old understandings, such as interpretations of the phrase refered to,
often become blockages.

Life doesn't "take us" anywhere. It merely sets out some paths. Which one
to follow, or whether to carve out a new of of your own, is up to you.

Agreed, but how many people do you know that welcome the 'physical'
path, regarding ageing for example, with enthusiasm and exhilleration?
Thats one example of what I was referring to by saying 'where life
takes us'
I see each person as a "unit of life", where we each carve a unique
path. There is a 'hell'of a diference between knowing and not knowing
this reality.
