The other day I watched a video of someone trashing their partner and saying how this person was a terrible person, a bad mother, a bad wife, he was crying and shedding serious tears. This is a calm person unlike his partner in question who is a vibrant personality, sometimes controversial in her sense of style but I guess it comes with her profession as a dancer and perhaps personal tastes and preferences which we all can appreciate that those do exist. The “complainant” received a lot of sympathy and everyone was sending them love and saying how sweet of a person he is blablabla…. All true except the wife had said nothing completely about the situation.
The trouble to me was this; a single sided story is an incomplete story.
You don’t have to hate someone just because someone told you they hate them. If a person has put forward no defence for a story you heard, pause or step back from the situation because sometimes hurting people are just trying to build a village of people around themselves but who defends the one you’re attacking, especially when no one knows their story?
The world is in such great need for love, kindness and compassion and often times, the person we deem less needing of these is the one in most need but no one has reached out to them or everyone is reaching out against them. Let’s learn to give the benefit of the doubt especially where we lack information, get the full story, and only call the “BS” after you’ve been informed but not dismissing someone’s side of the story completely even before you’ve heard what it is.
