Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If not, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. – Swami Vivekanand.

The above statement emphasises on the ideal of offering help and support to individuals in need, or otherwise let people achieve their goals without criticising them. Swami Vivekananda thereby gives us an ethical dictum to ensure progress in society while also maintaining harmony.

Why helping others and not condemning anybody is important:

1. It helps build an inclusive society where all individuals live with dignity. 

2. Sarvodaya of society through the welfare of Antyodaya is made possible, e.g. empowerment of women, transgenders within a choice-based framework. 

3. It helps develop constitutional fraternity amongst people. 

4. It ensures people cooperate and work with each other for collective growth and well being

5. Condemnation is a negative act that perpetuates negativity, anger, discontentment and shapes a negative attitude amongst people. It must therefore be avoided. 

The need is to allow people to develop according to their own intelligence, for example the Tribal Panchsheel. It is also significant that compassion and empathy guide efforts of support and only constructive criticism is offered, not denigrating condemnation.
