"

A person - if he feels his responsibility - is free to say a blessing and wish him well. But you shouldn't curse. On the one hand, because he has no right to judge his fellow man's actions, let alone his intentions. He knows almost nothing about the latter. It may be that, from a moral point of view, the intention is more important than the action.

Hungarian

"Az embernek - ha érzi felelősségét - szabad áldást mondania, jót kívánnia. De átkoznia nem szabad. Egyrészt azért, mert semmilyen joga nincs ítélkezni embertársainak a cselekedetei, s még kevésbé a szándékai felett. Az utóbbiról szinte semmit sem tud. Pedig lehet, hogy erkölcsi szempontból a szándék fontosabb, mint a cselekvés."
