Judging is easy.
Truly understanding why someone did something (that you would never ever do) is way harder.
It took me a long time to get to the place where I finally understood that people aren’t deliberately dumb or stupid when they make a decision I deem to be dumb or stupid.
I had to acknowledge that my judgement was a personal opinion based on a personal perception of a situation for which I usually did not have all of the background details.
All of us are simply human, doing the best we can, as best we can.
