“The more man judges, the less he loves.”

— Honoré de Balzac, Philosophy of Marriage

This week, join Cyrus Palizban and Zohar Atkins as we delve into the ever-contentious relationship between love and judgment. Starting with a quote from Honoré de Balzac, we debate whether judgment and love can coexist and the implications of being judgmental versus loving. Leveraging Zohar’s knowledge of Jewish tradition, the discussion moves through contrasting religious teachings of the Kabbalah, biblical narratives, and anecdotal examples, aiming to discern if judgment has any place within love.
