Random musing for the time capsule

An attempt to capture some of my thoughts, perspectives et al as of this day and see how much I change with time for better or worse.  (a.k.a how dumb I was or how dumb am I)

"When a friend makes a mistake, the friend remains a friend, and the mistake remains a mistake." -  An old quote by Shimon Peres (current Israeli president) referring to Ronald Reagan.

I always believed in those words. It's right to bifurcate and reflect on the situation at hand. But it comes with a cost, since people don't segregate those two things and eventually affects the relationship. What is the point of being a friend if one doesn't infer the shortcomings of other?

This logic should be embraced not only by friends, but in every other relationship. The sanctification of politics depends on this stance. This could eventually be the panacea for polarization.(yeah, right!!)

Since it involves reasoning, this seems to be a characteristic of executive function which depends on the frontal Lobe but frontal lobe also determines the most acceptable social response. Shimon Peres quote is very rational but socially unacceptable in most situations (and even in private conversation). So the big question is, is the frontal lobe responsible for Pere's reasoning or is it responsible for averting the reasoning and opting to overlook the friend's mistake or the frontal lobe is malleable enough to give rational socially acceptable response (Bingo!!) ? Waiting on neuroscience to give an answer.
