Judge!

("Critic" is from Greek word "kritikos" meaning "able to judge or discern.")

"Unless we are very, very careful,we doom each other by holding onto images of one another based on preconceptions that are in turn based on indifference to what is other than ourselves.”
  - Psychologist-turned-artist Anne Truitt 
 

The angel and the devil were being critics of human actions -
"It was a good thing."
"No, it was a bad thing."
"But it was the best thing to be done there."
"It was inappropriate to be done there."
"She had the courage to stand against the mob."
"She did not heed to the wisdom of the crowd."
God who was busy playing with the stars asked them - "Why did she do so?"
The angel and devil in unison - "Maybe because...."
God - "Not your assumption of why. But the reality of why."
In unison - "How would we know?"
God - "What were her circumstances which drove her to do so?"
Again in unison - "How would we know?"
God - "Then what she did was good or bad?"
Again in mechanical unison - "How would we....!!!"
