Expressions, Impressions and Beliefs

Of course I make instant judgement of a person once i speak to them. But there are those people who leave an impression even with a passing look. I have seen variety in looks and expressions since ages but never do they fail to interest me. Not now, not ever. But it has been one interesting journey from the time i came to my institute.I have developed a completely different perspective about why and how. Apparently there need be no reason. But I believe firmly that everything happens for a reason. So why an exception here?

There is that look which shouts at you "I hate you". One which says "okay so you exist?". Another says "Interesting!". Yet another says, too blatantly "Oh.. I admire you..Seee my tongue hanging out?" :P Oh! what diversity we can generate just by combining our brows, mouth and our nose in different angles. Some of the above are downright insulting and others ridiculous. But there are those mild expressions which convey a little, you know the tip of the iceberg which is their feelings. Few more are blank- now I like these. I have tried to put one up on my face innumerable times. But heavens forbid if I succeed. Nature seems to be conspiring against my well-being. Huh! Care I do, but i will die before admitting that.

Now I shall put across some true reasons behind these. That they are my own opinions is of secondary importance. Right? To start with , there are people out there who are so darned egoistic that they fail to compromise, understand or bend their opinions even in face of contrasting situations. Take for example a Mr.A who i know for 5 years. Okay he is an achiever in what ever shit we all are doing. So? Doesn't mean he shouldn't listen to others who are far below him in grades, even when they are saying the right thing. Maybe for all we know the other guy is a superb achiever in another field. Just that what's on his plate right now doesn't fit him right. What ever they do is right always. Wonder how?

Then there are those people who maintain such outrageous beliefs that i never cease being dumbfounded. They are right always and lack the manners to acknowledge the other person's contribution.

There are those who keep asking favours of you and turn away when its their chance.

And few others leave aside their work and keep pleasing others.When will they realise they can never please another human?

Some don't understand that they are unwelcome and keep pestering and annoying until the person loses his temper or manners. And then they complain.Believe me it's true.

Some can't seem to have enough confidence in them. They need constant pushing and buttering to believe in themselves. For God's sake, you did it, please believe you did it right. Even if it's wrong, what's the loss? It's a long life and you can make enough mistakes.

Oh yeah.There are those who can't control their lavish praise. They keep bestowing it even when not required.

I can't seem to remember others right away, but I assure you there are others.

You can always adjust to these, but sometimes you get totally undeserved treatment or are let down badly or your hopes are belied and aspirations dashed. You fail to understand what you did wrong, where it went off-tangent. You want to scream out "Idiot! Use your head and change measures from person to person." Yes, I think that is the only way we can execute fair treatment to all. Give everyone a chance. What ever your reservations about others or your own experiences, keep an open mind. Only a fool can trust some one even when belied once. Make wise decisions and don't get influenced but listen to everyone. Keep good will around. It affects you too!

u mean i don't give a fair chance to all? maybe.. but it tough for your gut feeling and impressions not to influence your behavior..also tough for you to accept that others think similarly..[:P].. Now, I'm wondering what your response would be.

So are u someone I know? The one who told me to keep anonymous comments option open-as it is more fun?

i never mentioned anything in particular that you should be taking care of. what you said is something very obvious.it is always better to deal with people based on a pre-conceived notion of them.at least i do it that way.it helps one know how to handle people and offer what i'd call
'personalised services'.

as far as the question regarding who i am.i'll drop some deliberate hints.let's see the outcome.
