    Very rarely. If I care or even love someone, it makes no difference what the truth is. I may not approve of it, but I will still care for them. You can not completely judge someone accurately unless you have walked in their shoes, and besides, judging is not my job.

    Yes! there is a very annoying man at my work and everyone hates him. I've always defended him saying he's just kinda goofy, trying to be funny. One day he got caught taking sixty bucks from my coworker, since then I don't see him as goofy. He even played a song on the jukebox that I normallylike. ButI didn'tenjoy so much because he is the one that played it. (I'm a bartender)

    Once you know what you know, it'll always be in the back of your mind.

    Yes. Someone who has caused me immense trouble which has cost me everything at some stage in my life. I now know that he is just mentally ill, and instead of hating his guts, I just pity him. Doesn't mean I feel any sympathy or so, or that I have forgotten about the trouble he got me into, not that. But it's none of my concern, really. Not my problem. I moved on and recovered from everything that went wrong, and he is still crazy, so who lost out? Not me.

    Yes of course.

    The truth is not always negative. Sometimes you learn things that enhance the good feelings one has about someone.

    Someone is playing games and it is not me.

    Have I learned this truth by experience or only by what another's opinion is?

    Some things can only make me like that someone even more, some things don't matter since it's none of my business and some things.. could change my mind, depending on how serious they are...

    There was a guy on the bus. He talked funny. He talked loudly. He laughed really loud. I thought he was mentally challenged. Then I became aware that he was deaf.
