Though,i would say,being judgemental is the worst thing one can do and would profess that judgemental people put me off immediately,let us face it,we all do it,not because we want to do it,but because our brains are simply tuned to do so by default.
What is a judgement?A judgement or a conclusion can be made about things or people.It is a function of input data,which is nothing but our pre-knowledge about a certain thing or person specifically or the generic stereotypes and prejudices instilled in us by way of society.For example,When someone you meet, for the first time,doesn't speak the perfect version of the queen's language like you do,with the diction that's taught in convents,one would immediately think,arre,gaanv waala hoga,must be stupid,For all you know,the guy can be a super genius at anything he takes up.We go to a shop and ask for a pair of levis,the shop guy gives you a locally made pair of jeans,your brain immediately rejects it,assuming its of an inferior quality,as it is a prejudice that has been reinforced inour heads through a million advertisements on the television and hence the judgement that it is, and will be bad,without even giving the pair of jeans as much as a chance or thought against levis.Our brain functions like a computer,and based on the data given,it gives a particular output,which is nothing else but OUR own,PERSONAL INTERPRETATION of the given data,based on what we knowand all of us know,interpretation is unique to every person.
In this age of social networking and instant information,one cannot avoid forming judgements about things,people,their characters,lifestyles and anything at all,however one can stop themselves from being cemented and concreteted in stone about the opinions and judgements they form for the first time and be willing to explore the unknown.

I dont think ki being judgemental is the worst thing one can do. Evn if you dont agree or u try to hide it...you will always always make a judgement abt everygod damn thing.

Worst thing is 'to epitomize someone's/somethings's character/property based on your judgements', which is obviously influenced by prejudices.

without being judgemental, you cant even move a step. But ya..! as u rightly said (which means I agree), one should always stop being stubborn about judgemnets and prejudices.

(sorry for my stupid english and ill-formed sentences)
