Student #2: Hi, Elyon. In the [[past]] I've been concerned that to be non-[[judgmental]] could lead to [[apathy]], not caring where someone is. I concluded I should be non-[[judgmental]] but to [[evaluate]]. You said, "[[discernment]]." Judgment seems to mean closing the book, sealing the [[jail cell]], saying that this [[person]] is this way, all said and done. [[Evaluation]] or [[discernment]] is where I can note that someone is in a particular [[frame of mind]], [[lifestyle]]. I may be able to provide a [[service]] to them so that they may [[grow]] but I don't categorize them or bind them to their [[status]] at that [[point]]. Could you [[clarify]] if I'm seeing this clearly? | Student #2: Hi, Elyon. In the [[past]] I've been concerned that to be non-[[judgmental]] could lead to [[apathy]], not caring where someone is.
