Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

That which we call sin in others, is experiment for us.

That which we call sin in others, is experiment for us.

Summary

This quote suggests that when we label or criticize the actions of others as sinful or morally wrong, we fail to realize that we ourselves may end up committing similar actions in order to gain knowledge or personal experience. It implies that what we perceive as faults in others are merely opportunities for personal growth and understanding. In essence, it urges us to be more introspective and compassionate when judging others, as we may ultimately find ourselves walking the same path.
