I had been talking to one of my friends about the difference between judgment Vs. first impressions. What's the difference? When someone walks in the room and you look at them and make assumptions based on their appearance, that is judgment. But say you see that person and decide to go to talk to them and after that short period of time you come up with your opinion of that persons personality and a general knowledge of what that person is about. I can tell you from a personal experience I have been on both sides of that more then once. I have been the one judging and the one being judged. I have also been the one making the decision to get to know people and have had people in turn do the same with me. If you have been the one being judged, you know how hurtful that really is. Because it is in our human nature to do so, we must be purposeful in our daily decision to not do that. I have had people that have made judgments about me purely based on how I look. IT HURTS. Just because someone likes fashion and makeup does not mean necessarily that they have no depth, and how can you really figure that out until you actually try to get to know them? If you have been judged, I challenge you to not only forgive those people, but to also try and get to know them. And if your on the other end and tend to make judgments of others I challenge you to get to know that person before making any judgments about their personality or character:)
Lots of love and hugs<3
