I think some people at some points in their life think that it's okay to judge others, because they think they will never be what they judge.
But we always are that, generally, we experience those emotions eventually, in some shape or form. We judge we get judged. Til the end of time, eventually we die, we are alone, with only our thoughts, and a question of what we will become next. And all we have is everything we have ever known and thought, on a deathbed. And all we have ever known and thought are, how we know ourselves and how we know others.
And all of that is in the mind, at the moment of death.
So I think while living, it's important to let go of whatever causes the cycle of wanting to judge and wanting to hurt, people hurt when they feel hurt.
When we feel judged, we judge. But generally, we can never really know if we are being judged or hurt. Because life is an experience, of coming and going, of interacting with a self we think we are not, but we are.
Zen koans can be good to think about (to me), when one dwells too much on what a self means, when one has to interact with other selves in real life. People need a sense of self, because sometimes we are with other selves, sometimes we are with our self.
