Why Not Judge A Book By Its Cover. The Covers Usually Look SO Nice. ;)

People say, "Don't judge." Bullshit. It's like a friggin' automated response lah.

A more lenient view is, "Don't be too quick to judge." Bullshit. First impressions trigger that automated response.

Lol. So there's no winning is there? But wait. I think I may be wrong about that. Oh but what am I saying? I'm never wrong. Even when I'm wrong, I'm right. ;)

Sugar made me realize something the other day.

We were talking about people. And I was telling her how I was wrong about someone. A scathing, brush-off statement I made about Fur Elise, was proven well, quite inaccurate. Sugar on the other hand, had been quite kind to him from the beginning and so... well, she was actually proven to be quite right indeed.

Sugar: See, you shouldn't judge too early. :)

And that struck me. I try not to judge too soon. I try not to judge at all. I try keeping judging at a minimum and more often than not, in certain cases especially I succeed. Sometimes I slip. Exhibit A.

But the point here is, I need to try. I need to be reminded, I need to remind myself not to do it. But to Sugar, it just seems to come almost instinctively. She genuinely doesn't judge!

Which got me thinking then. So what does that make me, and the other people who're the likes of me in that sense? Are we not sincere then? Are we not really... Genuine? Pretending? Pretending to be non-judgemental types when actually we are? :o

It just hit me that Sugar is a genuinely, naturally, forgiving, kind and non-judgemental type. She doesn't need to remind herself not to judge or not to judge too soon, because she sincerely doesn't! *eyes widen in surprise*

Wow. Now how about that? :o :s :)
