At the end of a frustrating exchange, you might find yourself thinking, Ugh, this person is such an idiot. Or asking, Why can't they just do things right? But not everyone has had the advantages that you've had
In moments of frustration during conversations, it's easy to label others negatively and question their competence. This reaction often stems from a place of misunderstanding, as we tend to overlook the backgrounds and experiences that shape people's actions.
The book "The Daily Stoic" by Ryan Holiday encourages readers to adopt a Stoic perspective, emphasizing empathy and the recognition that not everyone has had the same opportunities or advantages. By fostering this understanding, we can respond to others with compassion rather than judgment.
