"When in doubt, be kind. It doesn't cost anything to be kind."
Joelle Rose Szlosek
It is challenging to understand why people act in certain ways.When there is negative behavior, we wonder what we personally did to activate such a response, rather than holding the person accountable.
Our effort to blame ourselves gives us the false assumption that we can control the upsetting situation. It is best to accept we will never totally understand why anybody chooses to do anything. The best response is kindness.
If someone we love is floundering, they surely do not need our judgment. They will redirect their actions when they acquire a deeper understanding. The best we can do is give them the benefit of the doubt, and love them best that we can.
