Read the quotation. Let me walk three weeks in the footsteps of my enemy, carry the same burden, have the same trials as he, before I say one word to criticize. Which statement best restates the main idea of this quotation? Do not criticize an enemy after pretending to be him or her for three weeks. It's not good to criticize others because we don't know what they face in life. It's acceptable to criticize an enemy because he or she is not a good person. Criticizing another person is all right after a certain amount of time has passed.
