It is True Natalie we are to show support and kindness as you shared when others are hurting.
It is not right for us to judge anyone’s weaknesses and shortcomings critically. God tells us to take the blank out of our own eyes if we do and than we will see clearly our own.
When we do judge others critically than we are looking at our own reflection in a Mirror, of course if they Sin or deliberately seek to hurt others than yes we are to rebuke them and we are also to correct error concerning God’s Truth in Scripture if needed.
I was wondering Natalie what Emerson would think of Paul.
2 Corinthians 11:24-31 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own Countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren. In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the Churches. Who is weak and I am not weak? who is offended and I burn not? If I must needs glory I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.
What did Paul hold onto in his trials, what kept him safe so he was not burned up by Satan’s Testing, the same empowering that keeps us strong to the end.
Isaiah 43:1-3 – Do not be afraid for I have ransomed you I have called you by name you are mine. When you go through deep waters and great trouble I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown! When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up the flames will not consume you. For I am The LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Saviour.”
Jeremiah 29 :11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you says The LORD thoughts of Peace and not of evil to give you a Future and a Hope.
Lamentations 3: 33 For God doth not afflict willingly nor grieve the Children of Men.
‘Tis they that most need random acts of kindness from any and all!

Is it an observation or a judgement passed by Ralph Waldo Emerson?

Oh I do hope that is the way it is taken! I don’t make judgments about people. It’s not my place to do so and the Lord implores is not to. Hugs, ❌⭕️

Some do Natalie and even worse but Paul as we know served God sacrificially and Loved his Christian Brothers and Sisters and put them first.
