No to underestimations! (Judgments)

Impression lets you think of what might be the personality of the person is. It does not exactly tell you who the person really is.  It just gives you ideas by looks and some actions. You cannot definitely judge the person by his/her physical appearance. A person do not shows “real self” on first meetings; that is usually for formal settings. How about the people in the society? Were you able to experience a time when you bump into a man and you instantly give your assumptions and judgments by what he wear? That’s typical, but hey, you can still efface that mental complexities and revise your outlook in viewing the stance of people in society. You know that impressions do not last, it change. Give a benefit of the doubt to stay away from judging an individual or a group of people.

Judgmental is defined in the dictionary as a basic opinion formed by judging or simply drawing conclusions. What’s happening today is far different from the way it was before. If you are not well-dressed or made up; if your hair is not combed, you are lowered in the viewpoints of the people. Sad reality, you cannot deny the fact that there is something in you that dictates to place something adjective on someone, whether be positive or negative. Positive thoughts, are, of course, may be applicable in judging but if you judge by negative aspects, then you should have a reality check on yourself.

You can live in a simple life where positive expectations are released in your intellect scheme. Your perceptions may change your reality view, that’s up to you. Things may interchange at times but values should constantly remain. This prevalent matter is not only happening in our society but also in our everyday lives. One example is about friendship. As you can see in some teen movies, the first scene is about a mean girl who judges every girl she’s seeing in the campus. This is happening in reality especially when two girls are feeling uncomfortable with the company of each other. “Hey, you know what.. That girl, she’s… she’s like that and like that…” without any proof. It merely comes out into the mouths of the hypercritical beings. That’s just a shallow example. These persons are also encountered in politics. We view them (all) as corrupt, in general. Have you asked yourself if your are certain on this? Do they all live with greediness? We really don’t know. There are some personalities that we have proven to be greedy but we should come up with basis before concluding something.

We all have different encounters, unusual dilemmas, various experiences, in our lives. Don’t make life difficult by underestimating one’s personality. There’s so much we don’t know. Walk in the path where you treat first your complexities before shooting someone you don’t know. Judgers were known to be a characteristic without negativity, but people chose to put a unenthusiastic meaning on it. 

I will leave you with this quote, 

Be curious, not judgmental.
