One of my cousins posted the poster below in her FB. The message from there caught my eyes and set me thinking.
It's pretty common for us to judge a person from what we see. After all, there is no way for us to know the full history or background of everyone whom we meet. Hence it's not unusual for us to sometime make the wrong conclusion base on our assumption from what we see. That is the problem.
Question is, how do we change that?
Well for one, I say, we have to acknowledge the fact that everyone has a different way of thinking base on the way they are brought up as well as educated. A person who has not gone through the same experience is not expected to feel or think the same way. In fact, even if they have gone through the same experience, their thinking may still not be the same.
Actually, come to think of it, all we need to do is to have a sincere respect for the other person's opinion and not be adamant with our own set of rules and thinking. We should not be judgemental base only on the way we see things. Base on only our perspective. We need to open up a bit more. We need to listen with an open heart and mind. And we shouldn't put a label on anyone before we know the person better.
But of course there will always be some people who are like that I am afraid. Total control freak. If you ask me, I really don't know whats their problem. Sigh....
So, in conclusion, since we may not have the time and pleasure of psyco-analysing everyone we meet, suffice to say that all we need to do is respect each other.
And the whole world will be a better place.
And everyone will live happily ever after.
Sigh....
Salam and good nite.
P.S. Don't forget to say a prayer/doa to the Muslims in Gaza. May Allah protect the innocents from the oppressors. Ameen.
