Context: I find it pathetic how some people will rationalize someone else's bad behavior, simply to keep from admitting they made a terrible choice.
Speaker 1: I find it profoundly sad and disturbing how some people will rationalize someone else's unhinged behavior, simply to avoid admitting that maybe they made a horrible choice.
Speaker 2: I completely understand that. Did something like that happen recently? 
Speaker 1: We're living with it. And it's dividing us as a society. I truly hope that the upcoming months will bring big change. Definitely working for that!
Speaker 2: Yes, I know how you feel. All we can do is encourage friends to join us in helping to make a difference. I believe there is hope!
Speaker 1: Me too! <fist bump> ;-)
