Making Judgements

Image
Man is habituated for making judgements on others. He loves jumping to conclusions even though he has absolutely no idea of the truth about the other person. We love to arrive at our biased conclusions even before we have gathered enough facts about another human being . I am reminded of an ad which appeared for some phone company where the woman is speaking at a nearby table holding her hand near her ear. At another table an older gentleman who looks at her thinks that she is talking to him. In fact she was talking into her phone which was a very tiny instrument cupped in her hand. Here the gentleman who thought that she was talking to him, is like us who don’t know the entire facts and just think what our little mind exaggerates to us. Imagine someone whom you don’t like from the bottom of your heart is about to say something and you suddenly interject and cut him off dissing him right at start. Wouldn’t you like to know what he was going to speak? No! You never even allowed him t

I Am Hurt

I am hurt at what he had to say about me! After so many years also, he doesn’t think that I am good enough. Why is it always, that I have to be at the receiving end?

Everybody wants somebody to talk to. No one wants to be left out. Companions and friends are there throughout our lives to offer the advice and a shoulder to cry on. Man lives in the company of other like minded beings. Some prefer the company of animals to humans. Some are engrossed with their near and dear ones. Some prefer to have drinking buddies around them. Others love gamblers. The druggies prefer other drug addicts. Man always feels secure in the company of other people. Except when he has to stand out like a sore thumb. The blacks prefer their own colonies, so do the religiously inclined. The caste barriers are raised for the ones who belong elsewhere. The biggest differentiator are cults, religious groups, radicals and the like. The whole world is demarcated by lines drawn across various man made boundaries. I heard someone preach about baptism and asked what it was all about and it created a rift between religious and the not. Whereas it exists in all other formats in every
