I once believed that if someone did something stupid, but did so innocently it was okay. Then, I had to add the caveat that if they did something stupid and caused death/pain and suffering, however innocently, it was, of course, bad. And needless to say, those that do something stupid and are cognizant are idiots. But, as time goes on, I had to also add caveats for ulterior motives such as greed, envy, jealousy, etc. to the innocently stupid category and it became just too much work on my part to rationalize someone else's stupidity. It is much easier to just give them the finger and get on with my day. I used to try to differentiate others’ stupidity, to make it more palatable to me.
