If you’re going to form judgments on anyone at all, maybe it would be best to form it based on their actions to others, not themselves. We are not our vices, we are not our accomplishments. It is not as easy as labelling ‘weak’ on the former & ’strong’ on the latter. It is not black & white, good cop bad cop. There’s always a story behind a story, & motives - (more sinister or spectacular than any trivial vices we pick up along the way) - that should be where you invest attention. It isn’t the ‘what’, it is always the ‘why’.

To read a story halfway, to miss out on the bigger picture, the second question, to think you know better, that they are all the same… well, do you need me to say that it isn’t the truth? It’s a damned shame.

You’ll walk away with one friend less, one hasty stereotype.
You will not taste the gravity of what you are missing out.
You will have no idea.
