Probably, so often the reason we (not all human beings but quite significant portion of them) don't like others' strange but harmless behaviors is not because we don't accept them by our moral standards, but because we are not comfortable about our own reactions. In other words, when facing some totally foreign or unconventional behaviors, we simply do not know how to react, so in order to prevent us from embarrassment of awkward reactions, we choose to blame others.

I myself is not completely from this ignorance, but at least now I know.

    Good morning Yun.
    Why do you insist on blaming somebody? Blame breeds resentment and anger. Focus on love instead. Learn from the experience and move on.
    True morality should be based on love. Many atrocities have been committed in the name of "morality". Are the atrocities moral? No.

    yun, perhaps you know my aphorism: "The fenced-in dog barks at the one running free." I think that's it. People who allow themselves to be constrained by social norms, who live controlled and repressed lives, resent those who ignore those constraints.

      I like your aphorism, Marty. Vividly demonstrates this mental phenomenon.
