Episode 3306: Helene Massicotte explores the concept of "action versus intention," highlighting how we often judge others based on their actions while excusing ourselves based on our intentions. By understanding that context is essential, she encourages us to give others the benefit of the doubt, fostering greater empathy and patience in our daily lives. Read along with the original article(s) here: http://www.freetopursue.com/blog/action-versus-intention Quotes to ponder: "That means, in effect, that we judge ourselves based on our intentions but that we judge others based on their actions." "It’s easy to judge harshly and swiftly. One simple question flipped our attitude from intolerance to acceptance and our emotion from contempt to sympathy." "To be sure of that, I would have to know the whole story. And often, that is nearly impossible." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
