Judgement
A certain conversation sparked off this entry for today. How ever people deny the fact that they judge, the fact remains that people do judge in many aspects.
First impressions are formed without the mind thinking through too in-depth, it’s just a involuntary reaction by the brain.
When you meet a street beggar, you’ll judge to see whether 1) you have enough money to spare, 2) that beggar is really blind/deaf/mute as he/she proclaimed, 3) et cetera.
Judgement happens all the time. Granted, it may not necessarily be bad, but in terms of things or people, human beings associate with their past experience to relate to the present. That’s why people find it so hard to adapt to a new environment or behaviour.

Each of us is capable of profound thoughts. Some choose to use reasons/rationale to reflect on their mistakes, some choose to use reasons/rationale to retaliate. If one is not comfortable in their own skin, they are the only ones with the deciding power to change for the better.
Character is what you’re born with, which remains unchanged. Personality is that volatile thing that changes with every different environment you chance upon. In this world, chance is only constant, people take on different personas when dealing with different environment and people.
I’m just a toddler of adulthood. Though we cannot use that to brush off certain issues, sometimes I do realise that adolescents make friends much easier than adults do. Somehow people just stop making good friends after a certain age, don’t you realise?
In the working environment, you don’t exactly show your real self. Somehow you’ll tend to behave in a prim and proper way. Nobody has any real face, for they are armed with the many masks they need to face the world.
Just random two cents’ worth.
