  • Dismissing people

    It’s easy to dismiss people when the noise inside your head already drowns you in — you can’t hear anybody but yourself. And so you miss the details, you miss the nuances.

  • Ignorance hurts, so as inattention

    Sometimes, we let things pass not because we want to but because it is the right thing we can do. Right means that we don’t want to hurt people; instead, we forgive because we are people. And people make mistakes. As a people, we sometimes make the wrong judgment because of our ignorance or inattention. Read more
