As all of you know, the use of context clues is a good tool for understanding the meaning of a word.  A word in isolation may have many different meanings, but when it is used in a sentence, that meaning becomes much clearer.

We sometimes interpret the intentions of other people incorrectly because we see what they do out of context.  We don’t have a good understanding of the circumstances that might be influencing their actions.  On the other hand, we see ourselves in context.

Just one more reason we shouldn’t judge.
