Give People The Benefit Of The Doubt

Chris Swann

I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.

I feel like I do a good job of giving people the benefit of the doubt. For work I don’t take things personally. I get along with people just fine and I also disagree with those people. We eventually work things out even if it’s an agreeable disagreement. One of the things I’ve done while driving is recognizing that people in a hurry might be rushing to an emergency. They’re stressed and so I look for the opportunity to get out of their way as soon as possible. They’re driving fast for a reason. It might be a good one but it could also be a stressful one.
