What if no one is misbehaving
We cause ourselves so much pain, suffering, and other negative feelings by thinking that others are misbehaving. But what if they aren’t?
On some level the behaviors always make sense. People are just trying to make sense of their own lives, get what they want, create happiness, and avoid getting hurt.
Now their (our) strategies for that can be pretty darn ineffective or even out right defective and damaging but no one is misbehaving, people are just confused or operating under bad information.
Much Love,
Jonathan
