I must say that one of my pet peeves is when someone makes an opinion about someone else, without getting to know them first. Sure at first site, the person may seem one way, but once you really get to know them they may be completely different than you originally assumed.
I know many instances where people around me didn’t even give the other person a chance to prove themselves, before thinking the worst about them. It really ruffles my feathers, in fact, and I try my best to put a stop to it immediately. It is never appropriate nor is it ever forgiving. I try my best to get to know the person before assuming anything, either good or bad.
So, the next time you jump to conclusions and decide something about someone, that you barely even know, remember that there is someone on this planet that is doing the very same thing to you and it wouldn’t feel good if you found out that you were being criticized before ever doing something.
Always give your fellow human beings the benefit of the doubt and learn things about them before thinking anything in particular. No one wants to be judged in advance, and I don’t think it’s an honorable thing to do. Think twice before assuming things, you will find you are much more open to learning instead of judging.
