Being Judgemental !!

Its something interesting. Suddenly I am noticing it is everywhere. Before we go into a shop, take our meal, start work or infact start our day itself. The very time we think of something, there is this flow of imagination that is already taking place, and it leads to, no matter how hard we try, we have already perceived in our state of half knowledge, whats it gonna be like.

Approaching a problem, with a pre-meditated mind, results in conclusions based on half knowledge. Allowing us to take a partial view of events around us, just because there is already a mental picture, of how things should or should not be.

The same kind of impression we carry about group of people also. I recently came across an article echoing the same thoughts, though it does goes deep into the whys and becauses. Just because if one has done it, it is suddenly thought which will follow will do the same. Life would be so easy, won't it, if it were so predictable ?? Specially the fact that, once we hear of an African, either sympathy or fear clouds our minds. We expect either the fellow will be a thug or that his life, childhood is so full of hardships that he not deserves our sympathy, but has a right to it.

These sentiments, which we develop wantingly or unwantingly, do have there polarizing affects.
