Mistakes often come from confusion,
not ill will.
But the mind prefers stories.
Especially dramatic ones.
Hanlon’s Razor reminds us
not everything is personal.
A quiet example
A delayed reply becomes disrespect.
A misunderstanding becomes distance.
Not because it is—
but because assumptions filled the gap.
Where this shows up
- In relationships
- In workplaces
- In online spaces
Not every outcome is meant.
Most things are human—
careless, unaware, uninformed.
