Why they said it?

Why they did it?

You’ll never know their reality.

You might think you do, but you don’t.

You might have some insight in to why they do the things they do, but your insight is barely a sliver when compared to their entire being.

Trying to figure out in your mind why a person behaved a certain way is almost impossible. Yes, if you have excellent intuition or even professional training then you might be able to get close knowing, but in most cases you’re just guessing in the dark. And even worse, you’re making up a story in your own head about why they behaved the way they did.

Why is this important to know?

Because it’s human nature.

We need to know why something happened because it makes it easier for us to digest and come to terms with. People don’t like open loops and ambiguity, so when all the answers aren’t clear, the mind starts making them up. And this is where things can get slippery because this is where the guessing starts.

The next time you find yourself attempting to speculate why a person behaved in a way that left you confused, remind yourself that ultimately you’ll never really know the real answer. Just like they’ll never ever really know why you behave the way you do.
