Assume good intent

People make mistakes due to various reasons; lack of knowledge, over-confidence, social influences. Almost always the negative effects of them are not intentional. You might be on the bitter end of a mishap. But If it can be explained by stupidity, don’t attribute it to malice.

Incompetence is more common than evil. Assuming good intent helps us avoid paranoia. If you adopt this mindset, the world will look more beautiful and you will become kinder as a person.
