Who am I to judge you?
What you have done
Or not done?
What you have said
Or not said?
Do I know you that well?
Everything you went through
And survived?
Everything you never saw coming
And yet battled?
What even if I knew you too well?
All your scars
From top to bottom?
All your pains
From visible to invisible?
Still, it won’t be enough.
I could somewhere go wrong
Adding two and two.
I could easily mistake
Adding for understanding.
So I refrain.
After all this time,
Who won’t want the same?
After all,
Who am I to judge you?
Such a humbling reminder of grace and understanding. Only God truly knows.

Your verses invite us to empathy, respect and understanding rather than judgment, suggesting that, despite our perceptions, there are always aspects of others that escape us. Have a nice evening. ✨🤗👏

Your meaningful verses expressing that we should respect other people rather than judge them is excellent advice. If only our world leaders followed this edict.
I think we are both on the same wavelength and we could help ourselves – as well as fellow authors and readers – if we followed each other on WordPress and spread the word. Hope you agree.

And does not everything, which we take to be knowledgeable about the other, betray us? Showing us, our own shortcomings and what should count when it comes to the other.
