We see others as all good or all bad. We idealize people, put them on pedestals, and trust them without testing them. Then, when they behave like normal, fallible human beings, we cast them out of our lives -"You aren't perfect. You have failed me. You're no good." When someone hurts us, disappoints us, or does something that seems unfair to us, we immediately see them as all bad. We lose all trust in them, and sometimes all love for them. At that moment we do not believe they have any redeeming qualities. We 'forget" any good qualities we once thought they had, and any good deeds they once did.
I'm not precisely sure why this seemed important to me this morning? I think something changed in me last night... Something profound. I'm still analyzing it.
