Judging

For the same measure as you judge others, you too will be judged.

Men make fun of women for how they will judge their sisters. Did you see her make up? What was she thinking when she wore that? As men we pride ourselves for not taking on seemingly petty observances. Yet we as men judge our brothers more than our female counterparts judge their sisters. We just keep silent about judgments-at least most of the time.
He's got a smaller paycheck then I do. He's better at sports than I am. Man, let me tell you about the 20 pound fish I caught.

Ever play that childhood game king of the hill? Its a game of survival of the fittest. The boy at the top of the hill must defend the territory and as long as he stands his ground he his king. All other boys envious of his right to boast, attacks the king until he his dethroned. They look for any sign of weakness, any blind spot he may have and they pounce on it. If we are not careful, we will play that game the rest of our life, jockeying to be top dog.

We feel when we are the top dog, the alpha male. We feel great when we live up to society's expectations of what men are supposed to be. When men are strong, confident, competitive, independent, vocal, athletic, rich,and successful they tend judge others based on their success.
Yet along with that success, it a failure to explore deeper questions. Research has shown that when men live up to masculine standards that the don't contemplate the big questions in life like "what is is the purpose of my life? Why am I here?
Jesus talked about it beinger harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. THis is because the rich man doesn't need to contemplate the meaning of life where as the poor man, the man in want, is more likely to pursue a deeper existence.
