[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your circle must be small if it doesn't include people who have done those things. I don't know of anyone actively doing them except gossiping, but certainly, I have friends and family members who have done most of those things.[/quote]

Have you ever talked to them about it? Have you ever said "it bothers me that you did this?" Dies it bother you?[/quote]

No I try not to judge. That wouldn’t be my place, and in some cases I was shocked they did it because I hold them in high regard so I know they must have been in a bad place to do it. [/quote]

It is not your place to judge, but it is your place to justify it because they were in a bad place?   I understand respecting aspects of a person and loving them, but you are lying to yourself if you think it didn’t change how you see them.

If they are an amazing accountant, but then they stole money from a client, now you have to respect their capacity for deception and theft in addition to their knowledge.  You would be naive to hire them as the CFO for your company based solely on your respect for their other good qualities.  [/quote]
