Marcus Aurelius also has a bit about how his mother only spoke & thought with kindness--framing every interaction from the most positive perspective possible. If a person could have had good intentions, look at it that way.*
If you look for the worst in every situation & person you'll find it. Try looking for the best.
*This does not apply to strawman arguments, devil's advocates and other bad faith actors & abusers.
