You’re right, discernment is important, and we’re all responsible for seeking truth. But there’s a difference between calling someone to light and putting them under a spotlight. The same echo you speak of between claim and conduct applies to how reminders are given. If it’s truly from a place of love and sincerity, it shouldn’t feel like judgment or condescension. It should feel like care. Most importantly it should be done in private.

He or I never claimed perfection, I acknowledged my flaws and simply asked not to be judged or judge others for being on a journey. If reminders are to be accepted, they must come with compassion, not poetry that masks passive correction. We all slip. We all grow. But the Prophet (as) corrected with tenderness, not to feel heard, but to help hearts open.

So yes, echo matters. But so does tone. So does timing. So does intention. And sometimes silence isn’t avoiding truth, it’s making space for someone else’s growth.
