Rebbe, R’ Shmelke Horowitz zt”l of Nikolsberg would say: “'ורעה עינך באחיך האביון ולא תתן לו וקרא עליך אל ה' והיה בך חטא' - Not helping another Jew in his time of need is bad enough, but looking down on him and blaming him for his own predicament is even worse. For if ‘he cries out to Hashem against you,’ your own behavior will be carefully scrutinized, and your own sins and failings will come to light.”
A Wise Man would say:
“He who fears he will suffer, already suffers because he fears.”
