@bmax89: People rarely do something just once. Patterns reveal character. As Robert Greene explores in The Laws of Human Nature, pay attention to repeated behavior, not just someone’s words, intentions, or apologies. But here’s the uncomfortable part: Their repeated behavior reveals something about them. Your repeated tolerance may reveal something about you, too. Maybe you’ve confused empathy with obligation, forgiveness with unlimited access, or understanding someone’s wounds with excusing the wounds they inflict on you. Your compassion is a strength, but without discernment, it can become self-abandonment. Ask yourself: What am I repeatedly tolerating in someone else, and what does my willingness to keep tolerating it reveal about me?
