Today I had an epiphany of sorts.
I genuinely think the best of people and probably will until the day they slaughter an orphanage full of babies and kittens in front of me.
I know a lot of people think it's silly or naive, but I can't assume people mean the worst. I know when I try to do things I have the best intentions at heart and it seems unfair of me to assume otherwise of other people.
That doesn't mean they never hurt me - or others. But maybe they do that because they're scared, or worried, or trying to prove something to themselves, or didn't mean to, or feel like that's how they're supposed to act, or whatever else.
Everyone is just trying to figure themselves out and sometimes it goes a bit better than other times.
So I guess just... try not to be a jerk. But even if you are sometimes, it's okay because you're just like everyone else just try and learn from your mistakes and everything will be fine.
Because people genuinely want to be understanding and forgiving as well.
