Consider this: You are chatting in a group, and discussion veers towards a certain person X. Specifically, towards his attitude towards money.
The group thinks that X is a miser, stingy with his money. He doesn’t buy things that he should, and that he can easily afford. But, in your heart, you think that X’s behavior is more cautionary than stingy, that he is careful with his money, which is a totally fine thing to do. And let’s assume that you think so because you have a similar attitude towards money as X; you would do the same in his place.
At this point, suppose the group asks for your opinion on the topic of X and his money; what you would do if you were in his place. What do you say now?
