No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a similar situation he might not have done the same. -Viktor Frankl, author, neurologist and psychiatrist, Holocaust survivor (1905-1997)
I agree with this idea, but I think it misuses the word judge. Judging is a necessary, almost unavoidable action of reason. What Frankl means really is that no one should condemn, or judge negatively, without judging himself by the same standard first.
