One suggestion: Try to be honest with yourself about yourself. It sounds easy but it isn't, given the complexity of the human mind.
The more honest you can be with yourself—and that includes who you were 5 years ago, ten years ago, and where you were at mentally and emotionally at those times—the more you can see the absurdity in judging others. People are who they are at any given point in time. Awareness evolves and grows, so who you are now is not who you were ten years ago, or yesterday. In realizing this, you may not only forgive yourself for what amounts to ignorance (lack of awareness) but others as well by extension of this concept. And that, I think, is the beginning of unconditional love.
