I think, somehow, if we seek to understand others, to listen to people's reasonings, to learn people's upbringings and environment which explain his/her behaviours, we may be able to accept and forgive everyone. Even the cruelest criminals on Earth.
That's when it comes to understand others' actions.
What about our own actions?
Can we hope others to understand us and accept the things we do?
Despite my observation on how most people actually have sound justification for their actions,
surely despite legit justifications, some actions are just immoral.
Our actions may downplay others' rights.
Our actions may still be wrong because it is downright wrong as outlined by the Religion or any code of moral conduct held by a person.
For instance, a man sexually harrassed his colleagues at work. It is later found out that he has been sexually assaulted when he was a kid. Although we can justify what makes him act as he acted, that doesn't change the nature of his action. It is wrong wrong and wrong. However, how he will be punished and managed or how people look at him later (marah? Kasihan?) may be affected.
