Reasons. . .
People do terrible things all the time. People do shady or questionable things all the time. It is part of life.
Everyone has their reasons, and to forget this is to miss an opportunity to better understand individual people and human nature as well.
I don’t mean that everyone’s reasons justify what they do — that’s just ludicrous. What I mean is that everyone had a reason that compelled them to do what they did — no matter how thoughtless it may seem to us. They may not always be aware of the reasons — but they are there.
Sometimes the most valuable work we can do is to dig for them, in order to gain an understanding of them and — often times — of ourselves.
Peace and Love, Jim
