Could there be any way to be dan l’kaf zchus?
Take what happened to me yesterday: Someone asked me to deliver a package to one of his clients. As I was handing the package to this client, having him sign a paper etc., this man turns to me and tells me, “I don’t want to hurt your feelings so I won’t talk now…”. You better believe I was very hurt! Not only did I now know that he thought ill of me – I had no clue why! But as I was walking home, I thought to myself that I have to be this person dan l’kaf zchus. So I decided that he was probably very upset about something else and wasn’t thinking when he told me that or maybe I misunderstood him…It still wasn’t right of him – but at least it made me feel better!
