This is from Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominiguez and Vicki Robin:
Judgment (blaming ourselves and others) is labeling things in terms of good and bad. Judgment is what got Adam and Eve kicked out of the Garden of Eden: they ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil--i.e., they started judging everything, beginning with their bodies, and made themselves ashamed....Discernment, on the other hand, is an essential skill. Discernment is sorting out the true from the false, separating the wheat from the chaff....Discernment has to do with that higher faculty that we all have---the one that knows the truth, that sees what is needed and wanted by life, that recognizes as real our desire to make a difference before we die.
