It’s easy to judge someone based on one rash decision or a choice that they made in which we didn’t appreciate. One action isn’t the sum of a person’s life, though.
We often forget all the good things someone has done once they make a mistake we consider bad. While we may think poorly of that person, we do the same in different situations. We all need grace and forgiveness at times, and we should give it as much as we need it.
Never allow someone to walk all over you or take you for granted, but also realize that we are all flawed human beings. Remember to be compassionate and understanding when others make mistakes, just as you would want for yourself.
