A wise comment from Amos, quirky character in The Expanse (sf series):
| "Look, if there's anything you need to get off your chest, I'm not much help, but I also don't judge." |
... or in Toki Pona, perhaps something like this suggestion by the inestimable jan Wena:
sina wile toki e ike sina la, o toki tawa mi.
wawa mi li lili, taso ike sina li ken ala anpa e sina tawa mi.
| toki pona | rough translation |
|---|---|
| sina wile toki e ike sina la, o toki tawa mi. | If you want to talk about something that troubles you, talk to me. |
| wawa mi li lili, taso ike sina li ken ala anpa e sina tawa mi. | I am weak, but your troubles won't lower you in my judgment. |
(perhaps related: "It is of no importance to me if I am to be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself." (1 Corinthians 4:3, New Catholic Bible translation) — and Jimmy Carter's comment, "Jesus said, 'Judge not, ...'. I try to apply the teachings of Jesus in my own life, often without success." — and cf Miss Judgment (1999-05-27), Nothing But Mu (2017-04-22), ...) - ^z - 2025-08-21
