If you don't like the analogy, then you will need to write your own. Sometimes people get into such a bad wreck physically, they will be in pain for the rest of their lives and those who have broken an ankle and healed can judge the person for not doing as good of a job at healing as they did, but it doesn't matter. The person doing the judging is the one in the wrong. Some people, since they have only had a certain amount of emotional and spiritual pain, judge those who have had it beyond what they can even imagine. These people judge those who have healed but will have pain for the rest of their lives as not being as good and as spiritual as they are, adding to the pain they already bear. They hold themselves in high esteem, using scriptural platitudes to back up their high self-esteem.
At any rate, none of this matters. What matters is what one thinks and feels of themselves, if one can climb out of the rubble of stones thrown at them and around them.
