Someone once asked...

“why do people judge others for situations they themselves have never understood the weight of?”

Someone answered with kindness...

I don't know, my brader

Another soul answered...

Because people are fundamentally scared. And they are scared of the idea of entering a situation they don't recognize or understand. The fear motivates a push for a dissonance, and if they make a moral judgement then they get to avoid the idea that they, a good person in their mind, could never undergo the circumstances of the person who must have done wrong to deserve their situation. It is dumb, but true

Another soul answered...

Because they never experienced it themselves.
