Fact : People Judge
Fact : People don’t like being judged
Myth : I don’t judge
Truth : I try not to judge
Quote : Never a judge a book by its cover
Its this funny thing that human beings do...we look at a person and automatically form an opinion about them in 60 seconds....from the way they look, the way they are dressed, to they way they walk to their smile or lack of it. Logically, we don’t know anything about a person in 60 seconds, but yet we form an opinion as to the kind of person they are, what values they hold, and even if we like them or not.
I’ve learnt on more than one occasion, the first impression is always wrong...the person I judge as shallow is actually philosophical...the person I judge as untrustworthy proves to be the most trustful...the person I judge as immature actually knows more about life than I do...the nice girl next door might actually be manipulative and scheming....all this I learn months later...after iv spent more than 60 days in their company...and still I may not know everything...
Then what makes us judge...without knowing anything....what gives us the right...the authority to frame an image of a person without taking the effort to know them?
What if you meet a person for the first time...they were just given some terrible news...then you met them..they didn’t smile...judgment : unfriendly, unapproachable,rude...that person on a normal day might be funny,caring,loving but you wont ever know that cause you've already made your judgment
I for one dont like being judged. I believe im so many different people in one that you cant really judge me unless you take the effort to know me...I seem rude...im actually caring...i seem cold...im actually loving...i seem snotty...well...im egoistic for good reasons..
so I try not to judge....to know and accept...love and let be...believe in the universal truth that there is good in everyone.There are people like me out there...they dont judge...they know me...they accept me and love me...they are my friends...
But for those who keep judging....well I dont want to know them....and I wont...cause my first impression will be a bad one...they will never know what they are missing ;)
