My Perspective
My
perspective on people has changed since I was younger and including myself.
When I was younger I thought I was perfect. Therefore, when I would see people
do something I wouldn’t do then I would look down upon them. I never gave
anyone any chances. I would just simply stop talking to them or just talk to
them less. For instance, if you burped in public it was because I thought you
had no shame and I thought you were a bad person all around due to one thing.
Also, if one person didn’t do their work for school and simply got F’s in
report cards; to me you were a bad person and just didn’t care.
This
simply changed when I started working at the age 13 in The Tutoring Center
where I worked “behind the scenes.” I worked with students that had bad grades
but when I got to know them, they had family problems or they found the work to
be too easy and felt like they didn’t need to do the work. Its not only
students, but people in general. Before I was short tempered with the most
ridiculous comments or by their actions. If I saw someone do something to a
friend, I would get upset or if they made a comment.
Now
I simply “just don’t care.” In the sense where if it doesn’t affect me or my
family then I don’t care. I have other things to worry about such as my health,
school and work and I should have to get worked up or get stressed for
something or someone that doesn’t affect me. I now have patience with people
and kids. I am much more understanding as well especially since I have been “behind
the scenes.”
patience goes along ways.
ReplyDeleteyes sadly we still judge people based on actions!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I catch myself thinking bad thoughts about people when they do things I wouldn't do. However, I don't know how they were braught up or how their life is. I have to remind myself that we are all humans. But sometimes certain things do still irritate me.
ReplyDeleteI am the same way i grew up, and started to realize what truly matters in life.
ReplyDeleteI think we still kinda judge in our own heads we just don't say anything. It's true if it doesnt affect you or your family then it shouldn't be an issue, and you should not get bothered by it.
ReplyDeleteI think at a young age we all have been a little judgmental towards other people. Then we realize that life is too short and sometimes people have hardships they have gone through that makes them the way they are. I try to keep an open mind towards everything and everyone. It makes life a whole lot more interesting and fun. Thankyou for sharing your blog!
ReplyDeleteI think not caring and being sympathitic to everyones situations is a mature thing. We really have no clue what each of us is going through in our lives.
ReplyDeleteI have a really short temper for people who make dumb mistakes too but I know there is always some good in people.
ReplyDeleteeveryone has some good in them, its just that you have to look deeper into some people to find it.
