HUMAN ASSUMPTIONS: ARE THEY ALWAYS WRONG?

        As humans we tend to judge people by the way they talk, look, dress and even sometimes by merely looking at them, we come up with such bizzare assumptions that could land us in ICU if other humans could read our minds (Thank God they can't :D). It's human nature to assume and judge people without actually knowing them. It's in our DNA, we were designed that way by God (or any other supernatural being you believe created the world) and we can't help it. I will make assumptions about people, my children will, my grandchidren, great grandchildren -till wherever my generation decides to end- will make assumptions because we are HUMANS. While it's bad to make assumptions, sometimes we are right about our assumptions.
          For instance, you see a girl standing at the red light district-or whatever they call it in America- and she is wearing this super short skirt and this blouse that leaves nothing to the imagination with these extra high heels. And yeah she's also holding a cigarette and chewing gum (I know what you're thinking already lol). You assume 'Yeah, she's a slut'. But you wanna give her the benefit of doubt and follow the instruction written in the HolyScriptures which says 'Judge not' and you're like maybe she's just one innocent teenage girl that missed her way home and is waiting for her mom to come pick her...LOL. Then VROOOOM, a Ferrari speeds by and parks where she's standing, she leans down at the drivers side and after a few minutes of 'talk' lo and behold, she enters the car and off they go. And you're like 'Told you, she's actually a slut'. Cos yeah, she is a slut. Innocent teenage girls don't dress that way and stand in the middle of the road at night duhhhh!
        Basically people view/judge you by your outward appearance before they get to know the 'inner' you. People would assume you are indecent if you dress indecent, same way they would assume you are married if you wear a wedding ring. Humans are always going to make assumptions based on what they see-that's always the first thing-and what they hear.  Trying to keep your outward appearance in check-and by outward appearance i mean they way we dress, talk, walk, basically our personal appeal-is a way to prevent people from making the wrong assumptions. If you dress like a homeless person, people would assume you are homeless. If you talk like you have no sense, people would assume you have no sense. If you walk like a drunk, of course people would think you are drunk. People would always talk and think and assume and judge but you could disappoint them by not giving them something to judge with in the first place. But as humans can never be pleased the best thing to do is not to give a....for lack of a non-offensive word i'll just skip that part, sorry. Ignore whatever people say cos humans will always talk/assume anyways but don't give them reasons to make the wrong assumptions. It's ok if they judge and make up their own assumptions but NEVER give people reasons to judge you wrongly. Peace.
