mask

Over the years, I have decided that the saying…“first impression is the last impression” is totally false. I am pretty sure that this is not a revelation to many many people out there. One decides about the other person on the first meeting itself and carries on that image until the next meeting. I know people say they do not judge people…that we are in no condition to judge people…But this is so untrue.
Someone may seem all rosy and goody goody at first, but you never know what’s behind that mask. The other may seem pretty detached and may appear proud and arrogant when in fact that person may be observant, shy, thoughtful human being. Whatever, I am glad I’ve learnt not to form opinions about people until I really know them…and just in case if anyone asks me for an opinion and I am not sure about it, I’d be diplomatic…not for fear of hurting someone, but infact to judge myself, for my own benefit.
I am selfish!!! :)
