SO, sometimes people aren't always what they seem. The only time you judge a book by its cover is when you're buying a book. Cover art, to a certain extent gives you an idea of what sorta book it is, how much effort the author put in to make the cover art awesome.
Anyway, I can go on and on about books all day and all night, but I won't now. :D
I was just thinking of how sometimes when you see someone for the first time you create this idea of how they 'should' be. Then, a couple of weeks/months down the line, you know the person pretty well and they turn out to be the polar opposite. Sometimes I don't get why our brains have all these prejudice. Well I don't exactly blame the media. We have these ideas, because we were brought up to think in that way.
So I decided to break down some of the different ideas we have of people and how SOMETIMES it turns out to be complete horse shit.
1. The 'quiet' person: They only seem quiet, but really given the chance they can talk your ear off. These people tend to be very entertaining, because they observe alot of stuff that others usually miss :)
2. The 'weird' person: They seem weird at first. But heck, you can be as weird or weird-er sometimes right? These people turn out to be the best to have around, because they do loads of fun stuff, and not to mention are very in the moment sorta people. :D
3. The 'happy' person: They always have a smile on their face, but sometimes that smile takes more than the usual effort. They tend to have many many things hidden behind their smile. Soon enough you'll know about those things. When you know, you'll salute them, for being strong and overcoming those problems.
4. The 'knows-everyone' person: They seem to know everyone right? Everyone has one of these friends. But this person has the most to deal with. They have many friends, but how many of them can they call close friends? Not many. These people tend to feel alone in life sometimes. So just talking to them and hanging out with them can make a whole lot of difference to them :D
Bottom line?
We should always get to know the story behind the mask. Once you know the story, you shouldn't judge but understand where that person is coming from. People don't like being judged, so don't do it.
Salut,
