Ooops! I Did It Again

The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.”
Maya Angelou


Oprah stated that this is one of her favorite quotes by her mentor. My interpretation, "When someone is an asshole the first time, an asshole is what they are."  I was recently speaking with a girlfriend concerning "boy" problems.  In short, she discovered that he had been dishonest and was weighing the direction of the relationship.  My advice is that we are all human beings, flawed, and will make mistakes.  The question is how egregious the offense was to the offendee.  We all have our threshold of tolerance; therefore, we have to set our own boundaries.  But, my question is, why are we so damn mad when, Ooops, I did it again?
