Claiming that they were unaware of the seriousness of the situation, many excuse inaction with reference to those in desperate need. While some people might accept ignorance as a valid excuse for failing to act, God knows the real situation and the deep inner motivation behind such failure. The divine judgment will be according to the actual facts of the case. This is a sobering thought, calling for an inner searching of our motivations. Never should self-interest be the real reason for a failure to help those facing grave danger.
