They say do not judge a book by its cover. Too often people judge others by what is on the surface and do not take the time to truly get to know people. Having preconceived notions is a way of shutting yourself out to the beauty that lies within people. Too often this is more easily said than done. We judge people on their appearance from near and afar. We criticize people on first impressions before we even truly know the person. Pessimistic views or prejudge mental behaviors are bad character traits and people have to be careful to not display these actions. Prejudice behavior is caused by ones action to judge. The bible tells us not to judge others, and even for those who are not religious no right from wrong and judging others is definitely wrong. Too often people are quick to analyze the wrong in others before they analyze themselves. I personally do not see the use of taking the time to build up an assumption on someone I do not know or on a topic I have little or no knowledge of because usually assumptions are wrong. There is a saying that goes, “if you assume you make a donkey out of you and me”. WE have to be careful not to allow ourselves to prejudge others based on what little information we may have whether right or wrong. The only way to truly know the truth about someone or something is to find out for yourself and truly get a full understanding. People shouldn’t judge because prejudge mental behavior affects our ability to further understand the world around because we tend to be arrogant or insensitive.
