Many of the people I have known, and regularly associate with, for at least a year are to this day surprising me with different aspects of their personalities. You never know what any given person is like. Everybody deserves a chance to show that they are either a good person or not, that they are smart or stupid, and do not worry if you do leap to some kind of conclusion about a person you meet, you are only human after all. That is my excuse.

week 6: Question 1
Ideally we should just be open to new people and ideas so when we meet someone, let them show us who they are. Unfortunately that is not the way things work out. Everybody has that friend who upon meeting somebody at the same time as you that will make comments about them, usually after this individual has left. I do not like when I make these assumptions about others, and laugh when they are made about me. Because you never can tell what another person is going to be like.

Hello:
ReplyDeleteI agree with your post that we should reserve our quick judgments and look beneath the first layers and then we can judge that person once we get to know them better.
It is virtually impossible to not judge people, and no matter how hard we try we are always going to be judging people, things, places, etc. because it is part of our human being.
The key is to judge people based on their character and not because of their materialistic possessions. Once we learn how to do that, then we can correctly perceive people. The key is to give everyone a fair chance and judge somebody off of their character and nothing else. Good job on the post.
