Recipient Of Unexpected Adversity

Wouldn't it be wise for anyone,
Before doing something done...
That affects the life of another,
To at least base the act upon facts?
Or 'something' that justifies one's ignorance.
And not what one has heard or assumes.
It would be advisable to use tact as well.
Many people do things without cause,
Or loosely connected reason.
To find themselves the recipient,
Of unexpected adversity.
Directed and with purpose.
