If you guys haven't read Paul's blog...you have to! he's hysterical...and although he's a Varghese, I promise he's not related...and that's NOT why I'm giving him a plug right now...I just think he's a funny man...and his posts crack me up!
Anyway, I had a rather eye opening experience last night. I had an opportunity to learn something new about a rather interesting group of girls. I guess the lesson I learned is never to judge a book by it's cover...I don't feel that I'm the judgemental type....in fact I spend a lot of time convincing people who do judge others that they shouldn't because you just never know what's going on in a person's heart or mind.
But, I guess there are certain things you just assume about people when you know them only on a surface level. Before the flogmeet up in October 05, I stressed to Sibil that I'm actually quite shy. She mentioned that was hard to believe because I came off as a talkative/friendly person in my flogs. So, needless to say, I think many people were quite surprised by my quiet nature. The truth is, I am totally shy when I don't know someone or have to meet someone for the first time...but after you get to know me, I'm quite the motor mouth. THIS is why my flogs and blogs portray me this way...because I'm writing for those who know me.
My friend Billy says it's just a part of human nature to judge/assume...I guess he's right to some extent...because we do it all the time whether we intend to or not. If you see a beautiful girl, you assume she's very self-confident...but most beautiful girls I know have very low self-esteem. If you see a fat person, you think they are lazy with little self-control...no one ever stops to think that maybe they have a health condition that might cause them to be overweight. My doctor told me that most people with my condition weigh about 300 plus pounds...and it's not because they over eat but because their bodies is just way out of whack.
I guess last night made me realize that I should make an effort to try and not assume things about people that I don't really know...because I definitely don't want people to assume things about me.
