Inspirations - Everyone has a story

by Life Positive

Often, when we go through life, we come across people who behave in hurtful ways. Maybe, you had a teacher who punished you without cause, or a cranky neighbour who never smiled at you. Perhaps your friend had a fight with you. The thing to remember at all times, though it is by no means easy, is that most people don't mean to be nasty. But they may be going through a rough time that prevents them from being kind and courteous. Many people have had really hard lives or may have been brought up badly. Try not taking it personally. You know what I always say when someone acts unreasonably? "There is a story behind why he/she has behaved this way. I don’t know that story, but if I did perhaps I would understand them better.”

It helps me to be kinder to them and less judgemental. Hope it works for you!
