When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained.

Most of the puzzling behavior around you stops being puzzling once you drop the assumption that people are reasonable. Everyone is carrying odd fears, old habits, private logic that would not survive daylight. You included. Expecting sense and finding none is what produces the confusion; expecting strangeness makes the same behavior easy to read.

The next time somebody’s choice makes no sense to you, try assuming there is a reason you cannot see rather than no reason at all. Extend the same courtesy inward when you catch yourself doing something you cannot justify.
