You Might Be Wrong

So and so is a _______.

This person always ________.

This situation is because of _________.

They're _________.

You may be wrong about what you think, assume or even "know".

We make judgments and apply labels with precious little information and background.

This goes hand in hand with the post about shoes that don't fit.

What if we stripped our labels from people? What if that person isn't _________. Maybe we can understand why they behave in the way they do. There is a reason for how they act, or for the reason you've applied that label. And the reason is likely different than what you think.

People generally act the same in given situations. We just like to think things like "I would never do that" or "I wouldn't handle it like them". But the thing is we don't know. And furthermore we likely would handle things similar to them, we're all humans.

Let's cut each other some slack. In fact let's get behind one another. Who doesn't need another person in their corner.
