No Comment
From the post No Opinion at the Boundless Line:
When we don’t have the full story, when we aren’t fully aware of someone’s motivations, in the face of such everyday ambiguity sometimes it’s a virtue to have the firm conviction of “no opinion.”
Yes, often there are clear rights and wrongs. But when things are shady grey, or when we feel we’ve been wronged, we should remember that we don’t see every detail or motivation as God does…
You are right! I do believe we may only comment on what we see, but NOT “motivations”

Is that you mom? Anyway, ideally, I think, we should also be careful in commenting on what we see. There may be a lot we don’t see behind what we see.

Yes, it is important also to consider that it is so hard to see our own guilt and fault yet so easy to see the problems of another person. We cannot know the heart of another, but God does know the heart. We simply see behaviors and snap to judgment.
Thank you, God, for knowing our hearts and motivations. We cannot deceive Him.
