We all use observation to find our judgments, and we all use judgment to feel how we feel about something, it becomes about how you accept and give yourself in understanding. It's probably the worst word in the English language for how it holds so many different connotations that really has a profound difference in effect, yet unique in that's it apt in both actions. Observation is just witness and impartial.

@Ferric67 You can observe a sunny day.

@MrBrownstone what I should have said was that I would expect good weather. Judgement is tied in with expectations, along with assumptions and prejudices

@SW-User If I judge someone to be a user or abuser, then I avoid them and don't get used or abused.
If I am nonjudgmental and give a user or abuser access to me, just to say I am not judgmental, then I get used and abused.

@SW-User yes, both words have a variety of meanings, but in general I'd view people's initial idea as an observation being a benign version of judgement. The word judgement carries a negative connotation in the mind. Even if kept to oneself, I think a judgement is still an aggressive act as you're likely aligning it with a moral principle. Not always, but usually. It's just my opinion. I accept others.

observation leads to judgement. But observation must be non-judgemental. One has to observe the full course and not dictate the course mi way by their own judgement. So an unbiased observation unviels judgments which are like steps in a ladder. Without Judgments one cannot progress or escalate in life.

Judgement comes a bit closer to condemnation, although it’s still not the same. To judge is not necessarily to condemn. Observation is relatively neutral.
