No person knows what is in the heart of his fellow

No person knows what is in the heart of his fellow

A person cannot know the hidden thoughts in the heart of his friend. By extension: do not be quick to judge your friend's actions, for you do not know all the circumstances and his thoughts.

(“Our Rabbis taught: Seven things are hidden from people, and these are they: the day of death, the day of consolation, the depth of judgment, and no person knows what is in the heart of his fellow, and no person knows by what means he will earn, and when the kingdom of David will return, and when a guilty kingdom will end” - Pesachim 54b)

Expression (Hebrew)

אֵין אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ מַה בְּלִבּוֹ שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ

Definition (Hebrew)

אָדָם אֵינוֹ יָכוֹל לָדַעַת מַחֲשָׁבוֹת סְמוּיוֹת שֶׁבְּלֵב חֲבֵרוֹ. בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אַל תְּמַהֵר לִשְׁפֹּט אֶת מַעֲשֵׂה חֲבֵרְךָ כִּי אֵינְךָ יוֹדֵעַ אֶת כְּלַל הַנְּסִבּוֹת וּמַחְשְׁבוֹתָיו.

("תְּנוּ רַבָּנָן: שִׁבְעָה דְּבָרִים מְכֻסִּים מִבְנֵי אָדָם, אֵלּוּ הֵן: יוֹם הַמִּיתָה, וְיוֹם הַנֶּחָמָה, וְעֹמֶק הַדִּין, וְאֵין אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ מָה בְּלִבּוֹ שֶׁל חֲבֵרוֹ, וְאֵין אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ בְּמָה מִשְׁתַּכֵּר, וּמַלְכוּת בֵּית דָּוִד מָתַי תַּחֲזֹר, וּמַלְכוּת חַיֶּבֶת מָתַי תִּכְלֶה"- פְּסָחִים נָד ע"ב)
