Finding the line

People tell you who they are. It's a cliche, but it's also true. Oftetimes we ignore it, and sometimes that's a good thing. Because often the bad in a person is balanced by the good. And sometimes we give people the benefit of the doubt because we care about them. Sometimes we just cut them a break. 

And sometimes we're delusional about it. Sometimes we pretend that we don't notice the red flags, the warning signs. Sometimes we convince ourselves that we don't notice. And that's bad because we get hurt or we stay in a bad situation way past its expiration date.

It's hard to know where the line is - where you've crossed over into delution and away from just being gracious or kind.
