I think people can do a number of things that go against their principles, so would you judge a person by their actions or what they think is best even if they don't act that way?
[ that's roxana half the time - choosing to do what she thinks is wrong anyway. ]
I'm not so insane that I want people to hate me. [ but she's stopped putting in more effort to get people to like her more. ] It's only I know how difficult I am.
[ in the things she does or doesn't share, in how much people can see of her. she's not perfect in hiding everything she wants, but she does think people only like what they can see. there's a beat before she gives a more straightforward answer: ]
I would judge a person by the reasoning for the actions, I think. You can know something's wrong, but... if there's an overarching reason that can't be helped, isn't the answer more about understanding that before deciding? But I know as the years go by I may not have the luxury of time for everyone in Heaven. I'll have to streamline it.
[ it's a bitter pill to swallow, knowing that right now he's not sure he can maintain his way of doing things. he thinks about other difficult people in his life and he thinks about roxana before he hears her answer and he offers an apologetic smile. ]
... sorry then. I can say there are things you've done or things you think I probably don't and won't like, but I can appreciate that you don't waver. Not exactly the worst trait to have when you have goals in mind. I sort of wish I was better at it myself.

It would be easier.
