"I would have done the same thing" is not the moral compass of this Universe. If we find it easy to condone the misgivings of another because they mirror us, we should then be just as critical of our shortcomings in light of a perceived goodness that we may not yet reflect. Neither forgo an opportunity to do good under the "I am no Jesus" pretext, nor abandon compassion under the garb of "I would have done the same thing".
