Is there a difference between judgment and discrimination?

According to Osho, judgment springs from past beliefs, ideologies and secondhand knowledge; it condemns instantly and superficially. Discrimination arises from present-moment awareness—an alert, compassionate seeing that responds to the real situation without labels. Where judgment divides people into 'good' and 'bad,' discrimination perceives the deeper search and context (e.g., addiction as a misguided longing for ecstasy), allowing wise, non-condemning action.

Judgment is a quick, belief-based label; discrimination is calm, present awareness that understands before deciding.
