Relating to others can be complicated. We often assume that we know exactly where someone is coming from, but we actually don’t. Because we haven’t experienced life as them, we can’t grasp their understanding of the world. We interpret what they say and do through our own filter and experience. Instead of presuming we know what it’s like and judging, we ought to give them the benefit of the doubt. Once we’re aware of our own bias, we become more tolerant of others and less defensive about ourselves. We really comprehend the wisdom in…

Assuming the best.
