on forgiving by accepting ppl's faults

Whenever I feel like accusing someone of a wrong-doing, I need to keep in mind that they just may be unskilled or ignorant.

people, for example, step on my shoes all the time in conversation, and I get pissed off. I don't tell them, but in my mind, I harbor a hatred of them for treating me with such recklessness.... But then when i think about it, maybe they just don't know. Maybe they have no sense of sensitivity or they are just an uncouth person.
