Stereotypes And Misconceptions

Every person that you have walked by in your lifetime has their own story. Each time you walk by a person, you put a little trust in them without even realizing it. In our day to day lives, we do not have the time to ask every person we see for their history or their memoir, so we trust them to be good people as we quickly walk by without ever saying a word or dropping a glance.

If you have questions about someone around you, find a subtle and polite way to get answers to ease your nerves instead of creating your own conclusion as to why this person is the way that they are. It’s important to remember that the person that they are today is just as important to get to know as is the person they were yesterday. Whether or not you agree with who they are and what they might have done, it is necessary that you respect them. At the very least, you must learn to coexist with them in cases of walking by them with a neutral expression instead of a nasty look to get your mail or inviting them to the neighborhood barbecue because it is the nice thing to
