called Love Without Limits. The author writes that many times we see only a "single story" of a person/s or even a group. There was an incident with two young little girls who wouldn't sit still or be quiet during a meeting. She was annoyed with the parents for not "making them behave". She found out later that the girls had been abused and were left a number of times for several days strapped into their car seats while the parents were absent . The "parents" had adopted the girls and were dealing with their trauma. We don't know what has happened to the people we encounter that has made them act the way they do but your insight into looking at the whole person is so spot on. Thank you for your message this morning.
