Stereotypes

Life isn’t black and white, but the gray can’t be seen with judgemental eyes. You can’t see the inside of someone’s mind, or go into the deepest part of their heart. You can’t tell how smart someone is by the color of their skin. You can’t see how strong someone is by their gender. You can’t see how happy someone is by their clothes, or what they look like. The only thing accomplished by looking on the surface level, is looking over the life of someone who’s just as complicated as you. Think about why you may cross the street, or when you look down upon what someone’s wearing or how they look next time, and it may be possible to meet someone more similar to you than you’d think. Words have always been thrown around, “Never judge a book by it’s cover,” or “looks are deceiving,” So why doesn’t anyone stop? Humans have that small voice in the back of their head that they let rule their life. Why is it so hard for people to talk over that voice, even when others try to scream over and over, that it’s wrong? Maybe next time, it’s better to look in the eyes of the person in front of you, rather than looking in your own head for all the answers.
