judging by appearence
early evening shopping in a local food store, queueing in a line to getstrangely enough, behind the same desk, you can get all sorts of cheese, bread spreads, meat & ham as well as bottles of spirits
in front of me, in the line, a man dressed up like a construction worker, dirty, coming directly from a nearby construction site
the shop assistant asking him immediately which spirit he wants assuming that he is one of the "alcoholics" of such an occupation
his real shopping - a veggie burger and a bit of tofu bread spread, later on dark bread and a bottle of milk
why do we judge people by appearance and our prejudices?
why don't we wait and let people around us express themselves BEFORE we make conclusions?
we are a weird species, influenced by the appearance...
how can i avoid judging?
more openness and listening before jumping into conclusions
a useful lesson of tonight's unexpected shopping
