The Torah instructs us, "Do not trouble a widow or an orphan." Since widows and orphans are very delicate, the Torah advises us to show them special sensitivity. However, this compassion is not limited to how we treat widows and orphans. Included in this tenet is the virtue of not causing hurt to any human being.
The Torah cares so deeply about the feelings of others that it codifies "not causing the slightest hurt to others" into a law of conduct.
We all experience life challenges. Remember to be sensitive to others. In turn, HaShem will shower you with unabated kindness, mercy, and care!
