We’ve all had the experience of suspecting others of devious intentions only to later find out we were mistaken. Giving people the benefit of doubt creates a kinder world. When others feel accepted, they don’t feel the need to defend or prove their worthiness. This helps to relax interpersonal barriers and increase authenticity and deeper connection. A meaningful life includes having worthwhile personal connections. When we remember that everybody is doing the best they can (even if we think otherwise), they feel our non-judgement and up opens the path…
To intimacy.
