Im not a dualist thinker, I’m not saying let people get away with things, if you understand your own pain, you can better understand others too, so be compassionate, don’t hold anger in, see with a clear mind and then take necessary actions needed.I have to disagree on this somewhat. In today's world we excuse everything and blame it on "addiction" "trauma" " mental illness". Not specific to the Leo guy I know nothing about but have read he's a bad guy, but are some people just assholes? Or bad people? Even now we hear that all criminals can be "rehabilitated" and punishment is bad. I've seen threads on bodybuilding and other boars where most people say they have trauma or mental illness or suffer from depression. If all these things are so common then I'd argue they are just part of being human and we shouldn't excuse everyone's behavior to mental illness, trauma, etc.
For example I had a client neglect paying for hes services and terms last week, I didn’t get angry, I tried to understand why he was doing this, forgave him and then took the steps to ensure that he paid in full.
So not saying excuse anything, rather understand so you can fix the problem.
