My mother used to say,”Never judge a man until you’ve walked a mile in his shoes”
If you have never gone through a divorce, been a stepmother, lost a child, lost a spouse, lost your job, lost a close pet, lost everything in a fire, been in a car accident, and had any host of other issues, don’t say “He/She should do this or that.” You do not know what you would do in a situation if you’ve not walked there before and even then, every case is different.
The next time you want to say, “If I was ……, I’d do ….. ” Stop and keep quiet and don’t show your ignorance.You don’t know what you would do until it happens to you. We should grow with every experience.
