Mercy Rather than Condemnation
We tend to condemn people we don't even know. I was tempted to do that at work while reading the news about a mother who drowned her own children. I'm glad I didn't say anything to my co-worker. It turns out that the mother was my co-worker's niece. He was agonizing over the fact that his niece's mind seem to have "snapped" suddenly. He reminisced about the times he held her in his arms when his niece was just a baby. My anger disappeared. I felt sorry for him and for her. I was wondering how he must have felt to hear others condemn his niece. Maybe we should all be more merciful towards others, since we don't want others to condemn us or our loved ones.
