Best

About a year ago, on my 30th birthday, my dad asked:

"What is the most important thing you have learned so far in life?"

I responded promptly: "Everyone is doing their best."

He was taken aback. He tried to argue that maybe I'd only met good, hardworking people. Surely somebody had to be lazy, or taking advantage.

But I think the more experiences I have in life, the more people I meet, "hardworking" or "not", the more real that becomes for me.

A person's "best" changes day to day, hour to hour, circumstance to circumstance.

There is always a reason for someone's behavior, even if it's not clear, even if it's not clear even to the person doing it.

And just trusting that, if I were to dig down deep enough, a person's behavior would make total and complete sense has brought me so much peace.

Because now I'm not looking at a situation where a person needs punished for their behavior, but a situation where a person needs helped to expand their capacity to make a better decision next time.

Yes, this includes people who do abhorrent, terrifying things to other people.

"He did it in broad daylight" as opposed to male daylight?

I'm actually extremely triggered by being asked to reflect on my behavior and unlearn deeply rooted sexist and racist tendencies. You see I've been coddled like a baby my entire adult life and if you're not niceys to me I'll be forced to join the proud boys. This is a YOU problem btw

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation
