we just don't know

We just don't know what is behind someone's behavior.  Maybe they are sad, maybe they are angry, maybe they are violent.  Maybe they are hateful.

We just don't know why people do what they do.  Not to justify bad behavior, but maybe their heart is breaking.  Maybe they are angry about something in their life and are taking it out on other drivers.  Maybe their entire life they have felt inferior and it comes bursting out from time to time.

I helps me to remember that behind someone's hurtful behavior is probably some form of hurt.

Yes, I wish people would take responsibility to make their life better, but not all will do so.

So at least for today, instead of hurting back, I am going to absorb the pain.  You never know what is going on in someone else's heart or head.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
