Getting way too soft/tolerant lately
in Psychology ·
Honestly, I feel like people rarely stop to actually think about what’s coming out of their mouths. Should we really label someone a bigot or some other horrible thing just because of one single comment? Maybe not. But if that kind of rhetoric is just part of their core identity—their whole way of being—then it clearly points to some deep-seated internal conflicts they haven't figured out how to resolve yet. I don't have a strong personal stance on this, though I certainly wouldn't want to be surrounded by people who think like that... still, I'm just not ready to condemn someone over one massive blunder. (Which, if I'm being real, happens way more often than you'd think)
