Do Not Judge Too Hard
Pray don’t find fault with the Pathfinder who limps or stumbles along the road, unless you have worn the shoes he wears, or struggled beneath his load. There may be tacks in his shoes that hurt, though hidden away from views, or the burden he bears placed on your neck might cause you to stumble, too. Don’t sneer at the Pathfinder who’s down today, Unless you have felt the blow that caused his fall, or felt the blow that caused his fall, or felt the shame that only the fallen know. You may be strong, but still the blows that were his, if dealt to you in the selfsame way at the selfsame time, might cause you to stagger, too. Don’t be too harsh with the Pathfinder who sins, or pelt him with words or stones, unless you are sure, yes, double sure that you have not sins of your own. For you know, perhaps, if the tempter’s voice should whisper as soft to you as it did to him when he went astray, T’would cause you to falter, too.
