I can't tell you what I do not know, but what I can tell you is, everyone has a reason for their actions. This reason may be understandable or absurd. We have to try to get the reason behind a person's deeds before we utter a word. Let's remember that we are human. Before we judge anyone, let's walk a while in their shoes. If we do, I think we will find with more compassion that we can meet in the middle and walk the rest of our way together. And instead of harping on a man's faults,let's tell him of his virtues. Let's try to pull him out of his rut of bad habits. Let's hold up to him his better self, his real self that can dare and do and win out.
