It's so very easy to find fault someone else, no matter how big or small...

When one's mind is already made up about them.

And so very difficult find true understanding, especially when all the circumstances don't easily fit with one's preconceived notions.

That's when it very easy to dispose with reason... And what happens next is anyone's guess.

But, it usually isn't very beneficial for anyone involved.

Just a few thoughts to share.

1. Actually that is kind of tough to do.

Hard to find fault in people, as you say, once you realize much of it is different perceptions. Or maybe that is a fault of mine, to think I don't find fault in other people.

Still haven't figured out the beer and travel money part, and many experiences, shrug, although going to see many places and be around people again.

Side note, thinking someone is doing something you would not choose to do, is not finding fault in them, just a disagreement of what a better choice would be.

2. Perhaps, disagreement WITHOUT fault is a better path to understanding?

Since understanding should always be the goal.

4. Your Subject Line Made Me Think Of A Quote From "The Simpsons"

Homer Simpson: Hey, Flanders, you're the worst coach this team has ever had!

Marge Simpson: He's the only coach this team has ever had. And the season hasn't even started yet.

Homer Simpson: Yeah, well, he's... wearing that hat like an idiot.

Marge Simpson: You know, Homer, it's very easy to criticize.

Homer Simpson: Fun too.

5. As always, The Simpsons tell it like it is

Which makes one question exactly what kind of fun that the critic is having, if they actually appear miserable while doing it?

It's not much of a campfire, and what there is of it is pretty insipid.

I don't think the Pharisees could muster that level of self-righteous hypocrisy.

I don't know why, but I really do enjoy this guy's posts.  They make no sense whatsoever.  I love em!

Miss Tots, I cannot take Random's posts at all!  They make me want to rip my head clean off!  When I saw him answer Dorkio's post, I audibly groaned.

Heh.  They used to with me.  Then I started to try NOT to understand them.  Now I look at them like little stick figure drawings kiddos show me.  You know the ones...."Look!  I drew you a tree!"  But really all it is is a blob.  I wouldn't be surprised to see that RT was a mole.
