Don't Use Your Judgment (Too Quickly)

We all use our judgement each and every day. We are preprogrammed
to do so, we wouldn't have got this far otherwise. We have so many decisions to make in a day, so many images to take in, so much information, our brains just can't cope with all that processing.
So we have to use judgments based on predfined or prediscovered
information. For example, if we approach a green traffic light we
decide to keep on going because our judgment is based on prior
knowledge that green means it's ok to go.

Like I say, we couldn't survive without those judgment skills.

Sadly, those skills don't often transfer when it comes to judging people. We usually make our mind up about a person based on very
scant knowledge indeed. Often our first impression. Often on what
someone else has told you about that person. Beware! That is all I ask. When you look at a tree you see less than one quarter of that
tree. The roots are buried underground (50%) and you can't see the other
side of the tree so in fact, it is a lot less than one quarter but
that would be laboring the point. Because the point I really want
to make is that people are just like trees, there is a lot hidden.

Probably around 90%.

SO, I am not asking you to like and love everyone, but just give a little more. Give a little leeway, give a little love, give a little more time before you decide that so and so is no good.

Because deep down, I bet he or she is.
