How can one better use their observations of Dukkha for cultivation of Compassion, rather than turning to judgement? Example: I see a person who sees another person pull out a cigarette. From seeing that they are smoking then another person does the same and so on. I think to myself "look what you have done, you shouldn't smoke it because it causes others to smoke. Dukkha is spreading because of what you are doing". Is this judgement?

Petty judgments arise all the time, such as I don't like the color of those pants or the way her hair curls. Is it valuable to work on these as aversion?
