Misjudging people

Yes I have. Actually I have done it more than just once. I pretty much misjudged all of my best friends, when I first met them. Not necessarily in a bad way, but I thought they would be different than they really are. And after I got to know them I saw and still see them totally different than before I didn’t know them. That’s why I think it is really important to talk to people and to get to know them, before judging them, because that’s what it takes to really be able to see the person they really are and not the person they seem to be.
From my hasty judgment I learned that I shouldn’t judge people from just for their looking or because they said something one time that I thought was weird, you have to get to know them until you can judge.

One Simple Trick…
People all over the world have a lack of compassion and empathy. A good example is bullying at high schools.   There is nothing really society could do against it. The only thing to do is to remind people that everyone is different and you should try to consider things from the other person’s point of view, before you judge someone.  Atticus’ advice is not new for me, my mom already sold me to follow this advice and it really helped me. Always when I didn’t like someone I just try to see everything from that person’s view and it helped me understand, why this person might act like that.
I think it is necessary that Scout is an adult looking back at her childhood, because a child wouldn’t understand that many things and couldn’t explain stuff that happens that well.
