Death has been described as the "great equalizer", I think, because of this verse:
Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
So we all have an appointment with the "righteous judge". I'm grateful that the righteous judge will make all things right.

Yeah, I think part of the mixed feelings are that we can basically only make judgments based on the actions/words/behaviors that we see, from afar in many cases. But that's the best we can do, and the resultant judgments are not flattering for the co-workers. But only the righteous judge knows what's going on inside them, knows who is deceived or is actively deceiving, etc... I'm glad they are in the Lord's hands too.
