Quote by Jodi Picoult
The English judged a person so that they'd be justified in casting her out. The Amish judged a person so that they'd be justified in welcoming her back. Where I'm from, if someone is accused of sinning, it's not so that others can place blame. It's so that the person can make amends and move on.
Summary
This quote highlights the contrasting approaches towards judgment and forgiveness in different cultures. While the English judgment tends to justify casting someone out, and the Amish judgment aims to justify welcoming them back, the narrator's culture emphasizes judging and accusing someone of sinning not for placing blame, but rather to enable the person to make amends and move forward. This perspective suggests a focus on personal growth and redemption rather than condemnation or exclusion.
