We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only their own pain and renunciation. It's one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it's another to think that yours is the only path.

Paulo Coelho
About This Quote

It’s one thing to feel that you are on the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path. This quote shows us that we can never judge others unless we have walked in their shoes. We can never be certain if their decisions will lead to happiness or destruction. We can only understand by having experienced what they have experienced and not by assuming things about them based on our own experiences.
