Do not disdainfully criticize
what you see another do,
because everything is not malicious
as it often seems.
There are things that are harmless,
children of good intention,
which are made harmful
through bad interpretation;
and there are joys that are sorrows
under the surface,
and things that are good
that look bad on the surface.
Judging at first glance
can amount to calumny;
in the affairs of life
the worth is in the intention.
