the BENEFIT of the doubt

it is call "benefit of the doubt" for a reason... because it is out of goodwill that you explain away someone's bad behavior etc. it is a benefit to someone else... that comes from you. so that means... you are doing some good here rite? that you are being more forgiving and more understanding rite? and thus being a nicer person. so by giving a benefit of the doubt to someone else, you are actually elevating your own status.

Now, we do this often rite? I know i do, and i know this sound egoistic but i am not complimenting myself... i just do a lot of write offs... but even so, there are limits. the shutter comes in when i lose the disillusion about why i am being so nice, it comes down quickly when i realised that the bad behavior isnt the first time... and it comes down hard when i realised that i am no longer the only one suffering...

fool, i am, to be so gullible and trusting... my only excuse is that i honestly believe that men are inherently good and that because i am not all-knowing... i give most a large leeway to fall back on. but really... today is just too much for me to handle... (i had to call you guys, some of you didnt pick up... but some did and i am truly grateful)

i trusted you before i know you, that is my gift to you... but now that i know you, i am sorry to say... i can no longer trust you.
