Two young Israeli soldiers were on miluim (reserve duty). Their task was to patrol an area where Jews and Arabs lived in the same neighborhood in Jerusalem. It was a tense area and time. One of them chanced to see an Arab woman rummaging through the garbage. He took pity on her and gave her his sandwich.
His solider buddy then said to him, "I don't know whether I can go to war with you. You might shoot too late."
The other replied, "I don't know whether I can go to war with you. You might shoot too soon."
This tale also applies to judgments we make without a rifle in our hands. Every day we make decisions about others. Those decisions are more of a reflection on us than them.
