..Impressions....

They say “First Impression is the Last Impression”. I think its part of our inherent defense mechanism otherwise there is no way you can judge a person after just meeting them once. Okay on second thoughts, some people are blessed with this extraordinary psychic gift giving ‘em enough insight to pass a judgment but most of us can not…and even if u r one of these very few blessed people ...Again doesn’t
give you any right to give your concluding statements…now harsh fact is WE ALL do it, sometimes without even thinking twice abt the poor person whose personality we are demolishing…but we know nothing abt the person we are meeting for the first time… abt the life they are spending… abt their values …still how lame it is that we say first impression is the last… it cant be..who knows someone’s ragged appearance is a result of them spending a whole nyte in hospital looking after their loved one… or a person not responding nicely n not smiling back at you is heartbroken ..may be having a bad day..may be hez shy…and not having that“BIG ATTITUDE Problem”..and a person who has this tooti phuti angrezi haven’t been lucky enuff to go to English school..he can be better than million others who are fluent…the list can go on…I am not trying to say that everytime you are wrong..but point being ..at personal level judging goes against kindness ……I think may be pulling someone else down makes us feel better about ourselves, or makes us look Higher in front of other ppl…ppl who sometimes don’t even matter to us…we try to tell them what he did was so wrong..if I were at his place I wud neva be like this…. Wotever u call it…its wrong, cruel, unfair n damaging…people have enuff troubles of their own widout us making their lives a misery wid our brutal judgments…I think we should instead give people benefit of doubt..So on a personal level… on my mission to become a better person each day…that’s my new resolution….to stop judging people…and giving them benefit of doubt…wot do U say abt it??
